RDR (Retrieving Deleted Records) FAQ's

1. What files are eligible for retrieving deleted records?

All files except for the following:
 

  • A file that has been reorganized since the records were deleted.
  • A file that was created with “Reuse Deleted Records = Yes”.
  • A file with variable length fields or null value fields (due to IBM restrictions).
  • Multi-member keyed physical file (the first member’s deleted records are the only records eligible for retrieval, due to IBM restrictions).
Note: Due to OS restrictions at V5R4 and above the RDR product is susceptible to unpredictable results.  The data in the deleted record is not always able to be retrieved using RDR and therefore maintenance for this software product has been suspended.
