RE: REORG Question

In a tight space situation like this, could you copy the file out to tape
(to a 'tape file' not a savobj or savlib), then clear the file, then copy it
back from tape?

Anyone tried this method?  That would end up using the tape file as the
temporary storage.

What I don't know is if the tape file would skip the 'deleted' records.  I
would think it would, whereas a savobj or savlib would include the deleted
records.
