RGZPFM to get rid of the deleted records!

Just kidding!

No there's no alternative if using the IFS APIs - the deleted records are
part of the object - all they have is a bit turned on in the first byte
(that we never see) that indicates it is deleted - so it will be read no
matter what.

Now how do you know between deleted and a record that happens to have all
blanks in alpha fields?

I'm sure this is no surprise to some of you on this list...but I'm
processing a PF via IFS APIs (for a generic file program). It seems that

deleted records are processed as well as undeleted records. Does anyone
have a better solution than just bypassing the records that contain all
blanks in the returned data?

My RPG is pretty basic so I'll omit the IFS copybook stuff...

when it hits a deleted record the data field is all blanks.
