FDELETE

NM and CM callable.

Deactivates a specified logical record in an RIO file.

Syntax

            I16V    I32V

   FDELETE(filenum,lrecnum);

Parameters

filenum

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Passes the file number of the file to be modified.

lrecnum

Operation Notes

If a record is not specified or the lrecnum is negative, the next logical record becomes inactive. If the selected record has already been deactivated, CCE (2) is returned. Check to see if an RIO record is inactive by calling the FCHECK intrinsic. An INACTIVE RECORD error indicates that the record selected for the FDELETE was already inactive.

Only applicable for RIO files.

Not used for KSAM files.

Condition Codes

CCE (2): Request granted. No error occurred, but an inactive record may have been encountered.
CCG (0): Request denied. An end-of-file (EOF) occurred.
CCL (1): Request denied. An access error occurred.
