If you have MPEX and Adager (or DBGenreral for that matter), it can keep an
eye on your Masters (and Detail sets).  From the MPEX help screen:

---------------------------------------------------------------
%DBADGALT

Syntax:   %DBADGALT dbfileset, ratio

Examples: %DBADGALT @.DB, .50
          %DBADGALT @.DB (DBSETFULLNESS>.8 and MODDATE>TODAY-30), 0.6

The %DBADGALT command uses ADAGER to change the capacity of IMAGE datasets
so
that they are a given percentage full (this command will only work if you
own
ADAGER, the "Adapter/Manager for IMAGE Databases", a product of Adager).

For instance, the command in the above example increases the capacity of all
datasets in the DB group that are currently greater than 80% full so that
they
are only 60% full.
----------------------------------------------------------------

My only quibble with the above text is that I don't do this cross-group.
I'll CHGROUP to the group where the database resides, start MPEX, run
DBADGALT, exit, CHROUP to the next group, etc.  (There's a system var that
tells MPEX where you Adager resides: MPEXDBADGFILE)

The equivalent DBGeneral command is DBGENALT.
