Re: DELETE opcode for file in QS36F

["Denis Robitaille" <denis_robitaille@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is cause by an attribute of the file. It is not delete capable. This was 
customary for S36 files. If you do a DSPFD on that file and you look for the 
ALWDLT keyword, it is most likely set to *NO.

I dont remember how to change that attribute but you can fix this by creating a 
new file (CRTPF) wit the correct attribute and then copy the content of the 
original file, then delete/rename and you are set.

This has me stumped.  I have *ALLOBJ authority on the system, at
V4Rsomething.  I want to delete a record from a file in QS36F.  I tried
using UPDDTA and can see the record, but it will not display.  I wrote a
oneshot to delete the record.  It finds the record, but when I try to do a
delete it fails, saying the operation is not allowed.  The F-spec is
Update/Full Program described, indexed.

Any ideas?
