How?
Every time I try to display the rec, I get a message that
the rec contains invalid data.
When I try F23, I get a similar message that DFU couldn't
display the data.

So exactly how could DFU delete the rec when it couldn't
display the rec?

case. I'd be very disappointed in WRKDBF if it did (although somewhat
impressed).

Oops - you are quite correct, i did corrupt the data but used someone elses
tool
(WRKDBF won't allow it) ..

access them via an arrival sequence access path and select them by relative
record >number or via a different keyed access path.

either way, it is possible to delete the records via a dfu.
