Back Up and Reorganize Files

Reorganize files processing is used to reorganize the files on disk.  When files are reorganized, file space occupied by file records that were deleted is freed and the file is compressed.  In addition, the file records are positioned in key sequence, which allows more efficient system operation. 

Select Reorganize File Screen

1.   Enter the Reorganize Files system operator functions option on the GLMENU to display the Reorganize Files Request Screen (GL987S01). 

Select File Save

2.   Determine which files to reorganize.  Enter R in the select field next to each file or group of files to be reorganized.  Press the Enter key.  This initiates the reorganization procedure.

After the reorganization is performed, the GLMENU is redisplayed.
