If all you want to do is delete the data without reclaiming the storage, sql
DELETE FROM DMPDPG_PF will delete all the rows in the file regardless of the
locks (well, not exclusive locks).  
If you want to reclaim storage, CLRPFM needs an exclusive lock so you'll
have to end the job(s) that are locking the file at the time.  You can use
list object locks API (QWCLOBJL) to get who's locking it and then do ENDJOB
OPTION(*IMMED) on their jobs.

 Subject: Clearing Physical Files in Use

Hi All,

I have a batch program that runs a series of CLRPFM commands.  However,
if someone is looking at one of the open files, I will get a LCKW
message until that person leaves the program.

Currently, I have this in my CL program:

CLRPFM     FILE(DMDPG_PF)

MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)

Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear out the physical file
without having to kick the user out first?  If not, what extra code (if
I can) do I need to add to my CL program to force the user out so I can
clear the PF?

Thanks!
Brian.
