Paradyme V4.0 - Manual

File layout definition

Delete definitions


There may be times where attributes on the file definition become redundant and are no longer required. If the user wishes to get rid of 1 line they could use the CLEAR function. However, where a number of contiguous definitions need DELETING, the user can enter 'D=' followed by the number of definitions to be deleted. If no value is present, 1 line is deleted.

The system will delete as many lines as specified, starting with the line on which the cursor currently sits. If, for instance, the cursor sat on ATT 2 and the user typed 'D=3', then ATT 2, 3 and 4 would be deleted.

Note that the subsequent definitions 'shuffle' up to occupy the vacant slots. Therefore, in the above example, ATT 5 would become ATT 2 after the deletion and so on.
