Personally I'd use SQL for this.

Subject: Re: SQL Mass Delete Vs. READ/DELETE

I suspect that this is a one shot deal and that it might not really make

that much of a difference to dicker about it.

Some of that has to do with blocking, etc. If, by chance, you have a
key
on that field you may even find a Primary file performing better. When
you compile a program with a primary you will get an information message

that RPG will handle the blocking for you. Nice to let a computer
figure
that out for you.

I might just use the SQL.
