Hi Gene, Don't laugh!!! <G> But here is an "ugly" CL program, I wrote a few years ago to RGZPFM files that > 15% deleted records. We auto-scheduled it to run on the weekends over selected libraries. It worked well, but we never had files with millions of records either. Terry STRCLPGM: PGM PARM(&LIBRARY) DCL VAR(&LIBRARY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) DCL VAR(&PERCENT) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(4 3) DCLF FILE(QTEMP/WORKFILE) RCDFMT(QWHFDMBR) DSPFD FILE(&LIBRARY/*ALL) TYPE(*MBR) + OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/WORKFILE) NEXT: RCVF RCDFMT(QWHFDMBR) MONMSG MSGID(CPF0864) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(ENDCLPGM)) IF COND(&MBFILA *EQ '*PHY') THEN(DO) CHGVAR VAR(&PERCENT) VALUE(&MBNDTR / &MBNRCD) MONMSG MSGID(MCH1211) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(NEXT)) IF COND(&PERCENT *GT .15) THEN(DO) SBMJOB CMD(RGZPFM FILE(&MBLIB/&MBFILE) MBR(&MBNAME)) ENDDO ENDDO GOTO CMDLBL(NEXT) ENDCLPGM: DLTF FILE(QTEMP/WORKFILE) ENDPGM "Hockemeyer, Gene" To: "'RPG400-L@midrange.com'" <RPG400-L@midrange.com> <HockemG@sunbeam. cc: com> Subject: RE: Fastest way to delete records.

This process is dependent on the number of Logical files as well as the size of the original physical file! .. This is still my favored archiving solution. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Duzenbury [mailto:rduz@westernmidrange.com] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 1:23 PM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Fastest way to delete records.
