Perhaps I'm a little to practical but.....
If the CSV file has one record format.
Why not get it into a real file File (CPYFRMIMPF).
Delete the records you do not want.
Replace the original CSV file with it (CPYTOIMPF).
Even if it is not an nicely formatted CSV this is still a possible way but then
using a flatfile and some record recognition.
This seems to me a lot more practical and easier than fiddling around on the
IFS itself.
We do not have to forget that we can do it in other way's.
Let's use these other ways and profit from it.
Regards,
Eduard.

Subject: Deleting Records within a CSV file on the IFS
Hi All,
I've seen plenty of examples on opening, reading, writing, and
closing stream files on the IFS but I haven't seen anything on deleting
lines within the stream file.
Do I have to read the original file and write it back out
excluding the records I don't want? Or is there a better way?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction....
