Re: V6R1 - Finding Missing storage

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pieter,

    This is good to know but troubling nonetheless. Does IBM have any 
indication as to why those libraries were utilizing space they didn't need?

    It also tells me that the space /might/ have been reclaimed by CPYF 
of all the files to a new library and deleting the old but likely NOT by 
my suggestion of STRDSKRGZ.
