Reorganizing Files - What is this?

The Challenge: Reorganizing Files - What is this?

The Analysis: Purging removes the *USRSPC objects that are related to the transactions being deleted in various files in your data library (EDI4XXDTA in most installations). When you delete record from a file in the IBMi, you could not use the available space immediately until you run RGZPFM - Reorganized Physical File Member. This command has to be done for each of the file you have deleted records from and would like to recover space. It is given here in an option so that would would not miss a file plus, there could be hundreds of it in the list.
