Creating Input Files to Delete Records
Use these guidelines when creating input files that include deletes:
Note: In the character and Windows interfaces, press Ctrl+F to display the information window. It indicates whether batch delete is available.
2 To invoke the batch delete functionality, place an x at the end of the header- or detail-record key frame line in the input file.
3 Follow the key frame with a blank line consisting of a single hyphen so that the program executes the code that would be executed if an F5 or Ctrl+D has been pressed in the first frame after the key frame.
4 Enter a subsequent line containing the string yes as an answer to the Please Confirm Delete prompt displayed for online deletes.
