Re: Is ALWDLT(*NO) to *YES possible?

["Dave Boettcher" <DBoettch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could always use cpyf an old fashioned way 

CPYF FROMFILE(IN) TOFILE(OUT) INCCHAR(*RCD 56 *EQ 'W')

I have a client that has a file with the ALWDLT(*NO) (allow delete
records)
option set to *NO. I need to change this attribute to *YES so I can
delete
some garbage records, not to mention the fact that they have 10 years
worth
of records in the file, and they only really need the last month of so
of
records to be retained.  CHGPF doesn't permit it.
It's an old S/36E "flat" file so there's no DDS to recreate it and
cpyf,
etc.  It has two fields K00001 and F00001 in it.
Man, oh man, I do dislike this S36E stuff!  Yikes!
