Syntax

Description

This command displays a message asking the user to confirm or cancel the deletion and, if confirmation is granted, deletes the current record in the main file. An error is reported if there is no main file.

If a message is not specified, Omnis uses a default message. The message can contain square-bracket notation which is evaluated when the command is executed. If the current record is deleted, the flag is set, otherwise it is cleared. If the Do not wait for semaphores option is on, the flag is cleared if the record is locked.
