SQL would be faster...

However, assuming a 7.2+, use the TRUNCATE statement...

TRUNCATE MYTABLE
DROP STORAGE
IMMEDIATE;

I know the normal answer is, depends. Just looking for thoughts.

I have a program (RPGLE) that has this code (the file has a lock on it
otherwise we would use CLRPFM or some other method).

Read FileA;
Dow not %eof(FileA);
Delete FileAr;
Read FileA;
Enddo;

How would the performance compare to SQL with something like, in that same
RPGLE program.
Exec SQL Set option Commit=*None
Exec SQL Delete From FileA;

FileA will have 0.5 - 6 million rows.
