hi,
is this even possible? i had a request from the customer to try and
find a way to reuse shared directorys. they run a housekeeping job to
delete old mesages from the READ/OUTBOX folders so the size of the
shared directorys is getting smaller.
is there anything that can be done to reclaim space in these
directorys? ie: copy/contig ? convert?

They won't get a lot of disk space back, unless the .DIR files are
massive!
Anyway, FWIW, you could...
$ SET DEFAULT right-disk
$ CREATE [.XSHARE1]
$ RENAME/LOG [.SHARE1]*.* [.XSHARE1]*.*
$ DELETE/LOG/NOCONFIRM SHARE1.DIR;*
$ RENAME XSHARE1.DIR SHARE1.DIR
In other words, create a new sub-directory, rename all the messages
over into it, then delete the old directory, and rename the new
directory in its place. Of course, doing this type of thing with
ALL-IN-1 active could seriously corrupt things! Some testing to decide
whether this method produces the desired result would also be a good
idea.
