CLUSTER DELETE

[Mark Stewart]

I think your trying not to delete the entire contents of the cluster.  To do this you can use the DESIGNER 01 procedure like you said.  Then make another designer procedure invoke from the the ACTION field or ACTIONMENU and call it DTL or somthing. 

In this new designer procedure put something like:

PROCEDURE DESIGNER DLT
  BEGIN
    
INFO "Use the up/down arrow keys to select a record and press [RETURN] t*
    LET T_DELETE_FLAG = "X"
    PUSH FIELDMARK
  END

In your designer 01 you could put if T_DELETE_FLAG = "X" of the record your trying to get rid of THEN DELETE <filename/tablename> PUT <filename/tablename>.  

Put a RESET AT STARTUP on your new temporary (T_DELETE_FLAG) value too that helps sometimes.  Do forger to put the field statement for your new field in there too to show the X to mark your record for deletion.

That's one way you could do it.

VMS is a pretty good operating system...I havn't heard many people badmouth it.
