Re: "call qcmdexc parm('CLRPFM ABC' 10.00000)" in an SQL script?

Why do you not want to use SQL's DELETE?

At v5r3 or higher using DELETE to remove all rows doesn't (necessarily)
have to hit every row.  In other words, it works similar to CLRPFM.

Hi Charles,

Unless I've missed something, SQL's DELETE will not clear the file so that
there are no deleted records.  I just tried this on a file in my library
that no one else is using.  FWIW, Commitment control = *NONE.  We do not use
REUSEDLT in our shop.  Also, these particular files are not being journaled.
