Abstract
In a computer system, there is provided the information representing empty areas generated when data sets are stored in a magnetic disk apparatus. From that information, the total capacity of empty areas and the deree of nonuniformity in size of empty areas are derived. If the result indicates that a sufficient effect is brought about by effecting recompilation processing of restoring the data sets by packing empty areas, the recompilation processing is carried out.
