Help-- Deleting from a SEQUENTIAL FILE

[Joe Boyle]

You cannot usually delete rows from a sequential file but you can often
rewrite them, for that reason they often have a deleted field which is used
to unselect records when the file is rebuilt - which file system and OS
platform are you on ?

Hello All,

error:

Please let me know the what can be done to delete records from a  SEQUENTIAL
FILE.

 

Thanks and Regards,
