RE: delete records from a S/36 (QS36F) file?

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not recall that being the norm, but many people would change the system
default anyhow based
upon the requirements of the company/standards of the department.

>From what I remember, the only way around this was to copy it to a file you
created that
has alwdlt as a parm of *yes and same record length/no dds as the file you
are working with,
delete your records, then copy it back as a replace,
or you may of even had to delete the file first -
I am a little gray on that, been a long time
since I have had to deal with that.

Wracking my brains, trying to figure out how to delete records from a
program-described file.  Finally determined that the S/36-type file does not
allow deletes.  Is this typical for QS36F files?
