Hi Ed,
REORG? Not bad... Better than unfoam, that's for sure.
But I also like the defrag suggestion.
I think I'm going with that.
BTW... Merry Christmas!

As we all know, PDS compression has nothing to do with data
compression. All it does is rearrange the physical location of
members so as to eliminate the holes (foam? gas?) that has arisen between them.
Historically, we have called that "compression", but in this day
and age continuing to call it that no longer is an option.
Has anyone come up with a better term that I missed while not looking?
I like REORG.
It's a time-honored (often database) term used to describe various
processes similar to what is done to a PDS during "compression"...
