RE: The delete opcode

That's the way I've always deleted records.

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
