Do you mean "repack your data set" as in using Adager/Dbgeneral to
reorganize the data set (which I can't do in a 24x7 environment)?
Or "repack your data set" as in delete all entries while writing
them to a flat file, sort the flat file, and then add the records
back in (which I can do, but I don't think it will reset the high
water mark)?
