xldel

Purpose:

xldel deletes rcds from a 4C data file.

Usage:

xldel <option> [ <optarg> ] ...

Options:

-c <count>

-d <spec directory>

-f <filename>

-k <keynumber>

-n <ext file name>

-s <starting key>

-F <match full>

-I - Interactive

-H - Help

-P <match partial>

-R <reverse>

Returns:

0 - Normal Exit

1 - Error Exit

Example:

xldel -f sys.program -k 2 -s "tmp"

This will read the sys.program file by the secondary key, sys.pr_catg. All rcds with a category beginning with "tmp" are read and deleted.

xldel -f sys.program -k 2 -s "tmp" -F

This will read the sys.program file by the secondary key, sys.pr_catg. All rcds with a category "tmp" are read and deleted. Rcds with a category "tmpx" are not read and are not deleted. This is because the -F flag was specified.

Description:

xldel deletes rcds from a file. At least one -s option must be specified. This prevents you from deleting all rcds inadvertently.
