That is correct.  In fact, if there are multiple records that match the
keylist, and you want to delete them all, you have to CHAIN/READE to each
one of them before deleting them.

Much different from the SQL DELETE function.

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
