RGZPFM while active does not always return deleted records space.

RGZPFM while should always return deleted record space.

We have a large, always active, file with 1/3 deleted records that RGZPFM while active did not return deleted records space. We run 24/7 & only come down for Cums & OS & barely make our downtime window. With support help, I tried running RGZPFM with other options multiple times to no avail.

    Reuse deleted records . . . . . . . . . . . : REUSEDLT *YES

    File is active 24/7. Very unlikely to get downtime. Maybe next Cumm or OS upgrade. Months away.

    OS: V7R5 TL23306 Case: TS016477654

    Started with:

    RGZPFM FILE(ASID135201/ZTAHST0P) MBR(ZTAHST0P) RBDACCPTH(*NO) ALWCANCEL(*YES) LOCK(*SHRUPD)

    This ran for several days & seemed to be looping on the last 10k records. Canceled this job.

    IBM had me try
    RGZPFM FILE(ASID135201/ZTAHST0P) MBR(ZTAHST0P) KEYFILE(*RPLDLTRCD) RBDACCPTH(*NO) ALWCANCEL(*YES) LOCK(*SHRUPD) FROMRCD(*START)

    Ran quicker but no deleted records recovered.

    Message . . . . : Reorganize returned less storage than estimated.

    Cause . . . . . : Reorganize estimated 38446925930 bytes of storage could be

    returned. The actual storage returned is 0 bytes. Recovery . . . : The

    reorganize was successful, but it is possible that not all storage was

    returned. If the estimated amount of storage is significantly greater than

    the actual amount of storage returned, specify FROMRCD(*PRVRGZ). Then try

    your request again.
