DELETE command (edit only)

The DELETE command enables you to delete segment occurrences from a database. When the DELETE command is entered, the current segment and all dependent segment occurrences are deleted. After the deletion occurs, the next twin occurrence of the current segment type becomes the new current segment. If the current segment deleted is the last occurrence of that segment type in the current hierarchical path, the informational message "POSITIONED BEYOND TWINS" is displayed. You can then use one of the database movement commands to select a new current segment.

If the Integrity Check feature is active and the segment has been updated by a concurrent user, File-AID for IMS automatically displays the current version of the segment again. This process enables you to review the current segment before deleting it.

There are no operands associated with the DELETE command. The command can be abbreviated to DEL or D.
