records does not change, but deleted records are removed from the

Ah. Thanks. Although based how the logicals are keyed, it's entirely possible that even in the unlikely event that one is specified as the KEYFILE, it would still leave the RRN sequence within any given set of duplicates unchanged.

The PFs, BTW, are not keyed.

And as fast as boxes are these days, I suspect that RGZPFMing a file to a specific access path is more-or-less obsolete.
