Re: delete records from a S/36 (QS36F) file?

It is the DFILE-YES parameter on the FILE OCL statement which make a file
delete capable.  DFILE-NO would prevent deletions.  The BLDFILE procedure
supports the DFILE and NDFILE parameters.  Both of these are equivalent to
the ALWDLT(*YES) parameter on the CRTF command.

In addition, the CRTF command supports the ALWUPD parameter which, if set to
*NO, prevents records from being updated.
