RE: Reclaiming Delete Record Space....

Don't forget the FROMRCD(1) to keep the records in the same RRN order.
If the file is keyed and you copy without this, they will be physically
arranged in the keyed order.

        A CPYF will also compress out deleted records.  Of course, the
file is no
        longer where it used to be; you have to copy it back to leave
things as
        they were.
