Re: INZPFM replacement ???

I tried this using SQL. INSERT INTO followed by an immediate DELETE FROM using RRN. This was on a file with a PRIMARY KEY (has to be unique).

I think you're right, if you write all the records, then delete them all. My thought was to write one, then delete it immediately, then write the next one, delete IT right away.

I ran into a little thing, since the file reused deleted records. If you cannot WRITE to a new RRN, then you may need to CHGPF first to REUSEDLT(*NO), then set back, if that's what you want.

      The problem with writing to the deleted records to consume them is
that unique keyed files will prevent you from doing so.

Probably not directly. The delete status bit is in a part of the record not

available to mortals. But how about writing new records, then checking the
INFDS for RRN just added (or however you can do this), then delete by RRN.
The delete ought to be fast, as it is only changing the value of a single
bit in the header of the record.
