I don't know if this makes any sense or not, but here goes -----
I had the same problem, many years ago, though NOT to the extent that you
have.
I finally came upon the following procedure that SEEMED to go through
quicker than a straight delete
First remove all of the members to the file

RMVM FILE(FILENAME) MBR(*ALL)

then do the delete.

I did NOT do any scientific comparisons except with the old clock on the
wall, so if anyone refutes this, believe me I'm not going to argue.

Hello list,

I'm working with an application that has a work file that builds up a
large number of members while the application is running. It takes
several hours to complete. I even bumped into IBM's restriction of no
more than 32,767 members in a physical file with this one.

I'm have a minor issue with deleting the work file when I'm all done.
When the file has 30,000+ members in it, it can take more than an hour
for a DLTF to run. Has anyone ever run across this before? Are there
any tricks out there to speed up the file deletion process?
