DeleteRow_Sub

To delete rows programmatically the subroutine DeleteRow_Sub has been added. This takes three parameters, identical to the corresponding TCL command as follows -

DeleteRowSub(TableName, RowList, Options)

where

TableNameTable from which to delete rows.
RowListField mark delimited list of rows to delete. Use an asterisk for all rows.
OptionsAs documented with two additional undocumented options, A and L. The A option displays a message as each row is deleted rather than a percentage progress and the L option locks rows as they are deleted. Regretfully the U option does not work with DeleteRow.
