Re: REUSEDLT(*NO) - what's the point?

Hi Patrick,

What Sam and Bruce said.  I also sort of remember the 3rd party utility DBU having that capability.

Just to expand a little more on the save file thing in case you haven't run across it -- save files have a record length of something like 528, and RPG can read it just fine as a program-described file. If you've saved the single file to a save file, then it's matter of reading through it and finding the record in question and resetting the delete flag.  I have a vague recollection that it's the first byte or two set to x'ffff'.

Instead of relying on my memory, let's turn to google:

Also, it's possible to undelete a deleted record if it has not been reused.

May I ask some more information about that capability?
