Re: Question concerning the RPG command DELETE(e)

Thanks for your reply Charles
My understanding was that BLOCK(*NO) should work
Should this be changed to use FEOD instead?

Perhaps the commitment control is being used and the delete is rolled

back?

Could a trigger program prevent the delete without signaling an
exception (note I don't know if its even possible)?


Only two things I can think of off the top of my head...

Note BLOCK(*NO) doesn't apply when updating/deleteing.

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
