When you do this kind of reade you will need to set 09 and 10 OFF before
you do the reade.  IIRC, it does not do it for you.

Subject: Somewhat simplistic question about record delete

I have a LF with two formats.  The two formats are identified by I specs
that turn on an appropriate indicator when either of the formats is
read.  

So, I have this code

xxky setll <filename>
xxky reade <filename>

if *IN09 = *ON
xxky delete <format1>
endif

if *IN10 = *ON
xxky delete <format2>


My simple question is:  Is this how the delete is coded for a LF with
multiple formats?  I RARELY use delete, as that is usually handled by
the vendor code, but I have a mess to clean up, and don't want to make
it worse.

There is a lot more to the code than the above.  I left that out as the
record selection logic >appears< (over 13000 records to delete) to be
correct.  A separate file is supplying the partial key for a loop.
