Re: File Reorg - Cons

["Henrik Krebs" <hkrebs@xxxxxxxxx>]

What's the practical difference between CPYF twice and RGZPFM?

I can't se why CPYF should run faster or allocate the file for a shorter time 
than RGZPFM.

Of cause, if the second CPYF is MBROPT(*ADD) it should have an *EXCL lock for a 
shorter period, but is a file with only half the expected records better than a 
locked file? I should rather think that it's worse
