OPNQRYF to delete records using a position in the record as a selection criteria

Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to delete records from a file with
the command OPNQRYF only if the first char of the record is equal to 'D'. I
don't know the name of the field at that position when I use the command in
my CLP... Something like:

If (%subst(Record:1:1) = 'D')
    Delete Record

directly in a OPNQRYF command...

Thanks in advance for your answers
