SQL Delete

["Wes" <destaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running this SQL in interactive SQL session...
 ===> delete   FROM fonew WHERE Z1PRFL in ('Y', '*' )

 F3=Exit   F4=Prompt   F6=Insert line   F9=Retrieve   F10=Cop
 F12=Cancel            F13=Services     F24=More keys

 --->             Query running. 0 records selected, 29270544 processed.

The funny thing is the SQL is saying it's processed 29 million records when
e only has about 3k records are in the table and the 30mil are deleted (I
know I should re-org this file but time doesn't allow it since the table is
being used by trigger program)

   Text:
 Total number of members  . . . . . . . . . :                 1
 Total number of members not available  . . :                 0
 Total records  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :              1222
 Total deleted records  . . . . . . . . . . :          30853279
 Total of member sizes  . . . . . . . . . . :       25004580864


Is there any know reason why SQL scans the full table including deleted
records?
