We have an older file that needs to have the deleted records removed and arrival sequence changed to match its keyed sequence. It is a large file 50 million records 10 million deleted records and also has quite a few logicals and joined logicals associated with it. I was just going to do a RGZPFM FILE(FILE) KEYFILE(*FILE) but my supervisor said last time they did it, it brought the system to a crawl. And he wants me to do cpyf to a temp file clrpfm on the original and then a cpyf back. To me this seems like it would take longer and consume more resources but I don't want to be the one that disobeys and brings the system down.
Just looking for experience if it makes much difference or if there are any I gotchas associated with the cpyf clrpfm cpyf solution.
