Apparently I changed it. :)

Sorry, Sharon, I didn't see the word 'consider' anywhere below. (Still
don't.) I saw 'you could,' which sounds unconditional, and which is why
I
replied thus.

That is one reason why I said consider it. Every shop has different
standards, so what works for one does not necessarily work for all.

Sometimes, a hint of a different approach is all someone needs to
reconsider their path.

That's a good idea, Sharon, but MAINT(*REBUILD) is not an option when
UNIQUE
is involved. So there is some merit to the approach depending upon how
things are set up. Some installations that don't really understand
database
but are put in the position of designing for i have UNIQUE on (almost)
everything.

Dear Lord, please make me the kind of person my cats think I am.

Rather than remove the members, you could just change the LF to
maint(*REBLD) instead of removing the members.

Then once you are done with the reorg, change them back to
maint(*Immed).

This way you don't lose the based-on member info. I have seen this
cause a problem when the logical is based on multiple physical

members.

Re-adding logical members isn't fun for multiple physical members.

Plus, if the LF has multiple members, its not fun either.
