Specify this in PLUSIN

Specify the minimum number of expected blocks saved after reorganization to qualify the record for reorganization.

MBI(n)

Internal default: 5

The MBI (minimum block improvement) keyword specifies the minimum number of expected blocks to be saved per database record. For example, if MBI(5) is specified, the number of blocks that a record spans must be reduced by 5 after the reorganization. If the MBI criterion cannot be met, the record is not recommended for reorganization.

Valid values are 1 through 9999.

Note

BIPF() and MBI() criteria must be met to qualify a record for reorganization. For more information, see BIPF.
