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
| TableName | Table from which to delete rows. |
| RowList | Field mark delimited list of rows to delete. Use an asterisk for all rows. |
| Options | As 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. |
