In other words, even if it works, it won't be deleting any members that way?

Booth,
The file is opened to either the first member or via an ovrdbf to the specified member.
Using the Update op code, the program just updates the record in the file for the menber that was opened.

Subject: Re: Updating a program described file

Is there time for a *duh* question from a programmer that will be red-faced in a few minutes??
I understood that the update opcode was to update a record, not a member? I don't understand how this would work, even if were made to work?

Another solution would be to add a data structure for the source file to the program and use that for his I/O:
FQCLSRC UF F 92 DISK IQCLSRC AA 01 * D SOURCE E DS EXTNAME(QCLSRC)
C *entry plist C parm filename 24 * C read QCLSRC SOURCE * C eval SrcDta = 'delete ' + filename C update qclsrc SOURCE * C eval *inlr = *on
