Hi Check by q option if you have all reorg related options enabled (in 6.3.5 some are disabled by default).
Then if they are on you can simply track progress of reorg process by checking actlog for those messages: ANR0293I,ANR0294I – table reorg status reorg ANR0317I,ANR0318I – index reorg status reorg ANR0336I,ANR0337I – db2 runstats process status e.g. q act msg="0293" begind=-15 endd=today and so on... Then, after each reorg, you will get some free pages which you can realse to system by db2 alter tablespace reduce commands. Good luck.
