RE: The delete opcode

["mlazarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Booth,

 I *think* that the manual is incorrect.  

"... If a search argument (search-arg) is specified, the DELETE 
operation deletes the current record (the last record retrieved). "

 should read:

"... If a search argument (search-arg) is NOT specified, the DELETE 
operation deletes the current record (the last record retrieved). "

 If it IS specified then it should work like a CHAIN/DELETE combo.

Subject: The delete opcode


Am I reading this wrong? From the RPG manual:

"... If a search argument (search-arg) is specified, the DELETE 
operation deletes the current record (the last record retrieved). The 
record must have been locked by a previous input operation (for example, 
CHAIN or READ). ..."

I can not write a line of code like this and expect the record to be 
deleted unless I chain(or some-such) to it first?

  C  Key     delete  filename
