Currently, the RUN_REORG_REBUILD option has the following characteristics
M = Mandatory. Generate REORG utility statements to remove REORG pending conditions. (only Reorg Pending)
A = All relevant. Generate all needed REORG utility statements to fully implement the effects of the changes (AREO* and AREOR) …
N = None. No REORG utility statements are generated.
We need a way to generate a reorg for all necessary pending states (AREOR and REORG PENDING) to materialize the changes for subsequent processes.
Tables with an AREO* state do not prevent any processing and can be cleaned up by the standard operating in our post-process.
Example:
ALTER T1 DROP COL;
Description:
With the ALTER, the table is placed in an advisory REORG-pending (AREOR) state.
A bind for a new Programm can only take place when the pending state has been removed.
The reorg is highly recommended to avoid outage and it is also necessary for the deployment process to be executed.
For this, another option like
D = DEFERED. Generate REORG utility Statements to remove AREOR pending conditions (for necessary deferred changes)
would make sense in order to distinguish between the optional and the required ones when generating reorgs.
With option "A", too many AREO* would be directly remedied, which could better be carried out at low load times.
Alternatively, it would also be possible to adjust the MANDANTORY option so that in future all pending states are considered that prevent further unrestricted processing. (REORG PENDING and AREOR)

As discussed and acknowledged with the original poster:
The behaviour with run_reorg_rebuild = 'M' obviously corresponds to our wish.
RUN_REORG_REBUILD
Specifies whether to generate REORG table space and REBUILD index utility jobs after applying the changes from the analyze process, the purpose of which is to make the target operational.
Values:
M
Mandatory. Generate REORG utility statements to remove REORG-pending conditions.
A
All relevant. Generate all needed REORG utility statements to fully implement the effects of the changes, for example, space parameter changes.
N
None. No REORG utility statements are generated. This option is invalid if you specified NO for ALLOW_ROTATE_PARTS.
Default:
N
Thank you for the idea. We are still processing the details/impact for this idea, and it is taking longer than expected. Please know that we have not forgotten you.
