Re: Question concerning the RPG command DELETE(e)

Thanks for your reply Bob
What I forgot to include from the code is that directly after the delete,
there is a call to another program that I KNOW is working, and that other
program is NOT being reached from elsewhere
I've even looked to see if there was another older version of the program
with the non working delete in the system, to no avail
I do know that the delete is working in some cases as I've checked the
journal of the file that the delete is for, and there are definitely some
instances there

Are you sure the delete is even processing? something else in the program

could be causing it to never run that piece of code.

Afternoon everyone

I have in a program, the following commands

c delete(e) telr
c if %error
c goto more
c endif

Does anyone know if there are in fact some errors that the above would

NOT

catch

(Please - the goto is my act of desperation, and I usually don't use

them,

but like I said, these are desperate times)

The situation is that the delete is NOT happening, but neither is the
error

If anyone has any ideas, it would be MUCH appreciated

P.S. This program has the file defined as BLOCK(*NO), so from what I can
tell, the delete should be as instantaneous as possible, and not held in
the buffer.
P.P.S. I almost forgot - we are on V5r4 if that means anything
