RE: How to re-org an empty file

Thanks Paul
Never one to pass on a challenge, I did as you suggested.
I added a record (is added even a word), and I am now RGZPFM.
It's still running so I have my fingers crossed.
Will keep you up-to-date

If you really want to gnaw on this bone, then add a record and then reorg.

I'd remove the member and re-add it.

Do a CLRPFM, much better if you are 100% sure it has no records. Faster and better.

Afternoon all
We have a file on our test system that is taking up 32 gig of space, BUT contains no records (zero, zilch, nada) Re-org I say.
Re-org I attempt, and failure with the following message
CPF2995
No members in file xxxxxxxxxx or no data in member xxxxxxxxxx.

Anyone have any ideas?
