If so, what do you think about it?    I understand there is such a
capability but it may be only under V5R3.   In any event, it is supposed
to allow me to REORG libraries/files while applications are doing
SELECTs/Reads, INSERTS/Writes, UPDATES/Writes and DELETES?   Is that
true?   Any gotchas?   

I'm trying to get as close to 24/7 as possible to get rid of the weekly
6 hour window when we do our REORGs and the system is unavailable.

Thanks in advance,
