PS Since ANA/RMS doesn't work on an OPEN file, is there another program which will work with open files?
TIA

Re: Indexed File Fragmentation
There is Dynamic Load Balancer Plus (DLB Plus) is Automatic OpenVMS Tuning and I/O Analysis Tool. There is a utility comes with this, called RSFRAG, under

SolutionSorry, but I fail to see how any of the 3 replies addreses the specific question being raised.
Phil,
Ayup, my tune_check tool will report excessive RRV's
But the article highlights just the potential Duplicate Key problem which tune_check may discover.
I intend to do a 'deleted key chain' article for the June 2006 edition.
The tool is in:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/freeware/freeware60/rms_tools/
I'll attach a minor update which I'll submit with other tools fro the next Freeware release.
Jack,
It is good to see you are aware of the potential of 'internal fragmenation'.
ANAL/RMS only provides this data in an indirect way.
There are tools made just for this, but I couldn't find a public pointer just now (I have my copies ;-).
Tune_check -s=-1 will do an exhausitve count of rrv's
Unlike anal/rms my tune_check will work on open files, and does not lock. Of course this means it potentially could get confused, for a life file, but i have yet to see that happen, and if it does... just run again.
An other silly, but sometimes appropriate, alternative is to use backup/ignore=interlock and analyze the copy.
The best solution really is to analyze the old file from before the last convert.
Anyway.. don't get too excited about internal fragmenation. Yes it is not clean and yes it may cause additional IOs, but for most appliactions I have dealt with there are much bigger problems to attack first
(global buffers? bucket size? locking?).
Come to the OpenVMS Bootcamp in May 2006 here in Nashua and I'lll tell you all about it, or feel free contact me ofline for individual help/consultancy.
Hope this helps,
Hein.

Re: Indexed File Fragmentation
"For indexed files, the FDL file contains special analysis sections you can use with the EDIT/FDL Optimize script to make better design decisions when you reorganize the file."
You could potentially use the data in the optimise file to determine how much space is taken up with empty buckets, and if the file needs converting.
Rob.
