Re: Delete 1st record in batch

Evan,

I guess it depends on what you define as the first record.  If you are
talking about the data space used for relative record #1, I would agree
that if your RAG program deleted that record there would be no record #1
until a reorg or write.

But, if you mean by the first record to be the first active record a
simple program that processes the file as update primary will have a
'first' record.  Got to love that cycle! :)

This would be akin to reading a data queue where each entry is deleted
when read.

And I thought that if you specify FROM(1) in a CPYF it preserved the
deleted records and did not compress them out.
