Re: deleting a record from a subfile

I generally just update the existing record with all zeros/blanks so that
it appears as a "blank record" on the display.    This serves as a visual
notification to the user that the record has been deleted.

Otherwise, all I can suggest is read all of the subfile records into
memory, then clear the subfile and write them all back, omitting the one
you want to delete.
