We have a file that is somewhat dynamic. Records are generated, they are
kept for awhile, some are deleted, others are generated, and so on. The
deleted records increases by about 100,000 per day. We run a reorg once a
week to get the deleted records back. I had thought about changing the
file to reuse deleted records to minimize the need to do reorgs. Is there
any downside to this? My boss thought that if the default for files was
*NO then there might be a reason that we wouldn't want to do it. This
isn't a file where we would want/need to reactivate the deleted records.
It would be easier to restore from a backup or just regenerate them.
Thoughts?
