RE: File w/Large Number of Members

I'd be interested in hearing about what kind of application would need to
generate that many members.    

That's a new one on me.

Subject: File w/Large Number of Members

Hello list,

I'm working with an application that has a work file that builds up a 
large number of members while the application is running.  It takes 
several hours to complete.  I even bumped into IBM's restriction of no 
more than 32,767 members in a physical file with this one.

I'm have a minor issue with deleting the work file when I'm all done.  
When the file has 30,000+ members in it, it can take more than an hour 
for a DLTF to run.  Has anyone ever run across this before?  Are there 
any tricks out there to speed up the file deletion process?
