Thanks to all who responded.  I didn't realize a restore includes deleted
records, now I know.  And the lock parm on the RGZPFM is also new to me,
very cool.  How many times in my career could I have used this?  Again, the
i amazes.  
It was one of those deals, first I'm asked to purge the file down to one
year, then the next day when the $&%# hits the fan, I'm asked to put it all
back...   arrg!  
Thanks again, Tim

If you're on a recent OS release the reorg can be run in the background so
it more or less takes no time at all.  No downtime, anyway.  Check the LOCK
parm of RGZPFM. I think you have to be V5R3 and up.

Also, don't forget to change the file to reuse deleted records so deleted
record growth is slow going forward.
