Yep. I've used it in situations where I just wanted the free space to be coalesced NOW, not when SMON is ready. Can't remember exactly remember the delay involved if you waited for SMON. This command is works for 7.1.3. I hear that in 7.2, there's a similar command. Again, can't remember what it is. Well, I'm only on 7.1.3 for VMS!
HTH,
