Yeah, I believe COMPAKTOR will re-arrange the extents of a usercat, but I don't think it will even merge the extents. It certainly WILL NOT reorganize the catalog records.

I see a lot of references to reorganizing datasets on a volume (releasing space, consolidate free space, consolidate data set extents, etc.), but I don't see any reference to reorganizing user catalogs. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Eric Bielefeld Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 3:45 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: USERCAT Error (Out of Space) I believe Innovations FDR Compactor can be used to reorganize usercats on the fly also. If you have Compactor, your Sunday window would be a good time. It probably would be easier to use than IDCAMs. Eric Eric Bielefeld Sr. Systems Programmer Milwaukee, Wisconsin 414-475-7434 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
