LDEL Option

,LDEL

LDEL processing uses any logically deleted (LDEL) extracts created by USERSETS processing to physically delete LDELs if possible.

LDEL records are not deleted in sets where integrity errors are found unless you also specified USERSETS in both the AUDIT and FIX statements. LDEL records that are fully disconnected are not deleted.

If you perform a partial area audit, logically deleted records may be detected through an area sweep, but not when walking a set occurrence. In this case, logically deleted records are not physically deleted during the fix phase.

QuickCheck

Both QuickCheck and Standard USERSETS processing create LDEL record extracts for fixing. However, because QuickCheck does not walk sets that are free of error, QuickCheck USERSETS produces LDEL record extracts only for those LDELs found in user-defined sets with broken N/P/O pointers.

Figure 3.8 summarizes each FIX option, the extract file required as input for the correction, and the type of errors corrected.
