DBDELETE
The DBDELETE statement deletes a record from a manual master or detail
data set.
The database must be open in mode one, three, or four. See the DBOPEN
statement for the meaning of these modes. If mode one is selected, a
covering lock is required.
Syntax
DBDELETE dbname$, DATASET[=]dataset [, Status[=]status_array(*)]
Parameters
dbname$ A string variable, whose value is a TurboIMAGE database
name. dbname must be the variable that was passed to a
successful DBOPEN.
dataset A string expression with a maximum length of 16
characters. Its value is the name of a data set. The
name must be left-justified and if shorter than 16
characters must be terminated by a semicolon or blank.
This parameter can also be an integer or short integer
corresponding to the desired dataset number.
status_array A 10-element short integer array to which TurboIMAGE
returns an error code. If an HP Business BASIC/XL
database statement specifies the STATUS option, an error
does not abort the program. Following execution of the
database statement the program can check status_array
and handle the error. The values returned by TurboIMAGE
to this array are detailed in the description of the
status parameter of the equivalent TurboIMAGE library
procedure.
