Typically, when I've seen the UNDEL stuff retrieve blanks and zeros, it's
because the routine was unable to successfully retrieve the deleted data.
Dave McKenzie (I hope that's the right name) created the UNDEL programs with
a Program State of *SYSTEM. These typically hiccup upon system restores due
to the system value QVFYOBJRST. Is it possible the UNDEL programs do not
exist because this system value would not allow them to be restored?

Thanks. That could be our problem also. We are in the process of
upgrading to V5R3.

Recently, I've been having problem with RTVDLTRCD command retrieving
blanks/zeros for all deleted records. Does anybody having this same
issue?
I recently saw this using UNDEL2 (an alternative to RTVDLTRCD), and at
the time attributed it to the use of SQL DELETE instead of HLL delete
operations. So I mentioned it in another thread, and somebody replied
they thought it had to do with objects recreated at an earlier release
and restored to a new V5R4 box. But that files created on the new box
would retain the data in deleted records. In my case, the file was also
created on an earlier box and restored to a 520 running V5R4.
I haven't taken the time to try various scenarios and see when the data
is retained and when it is not, and to prove or disprove the above
assertion that it varies with the creation release of the object.
