Delete Characters

Use this command to delete a group of characters from an alpha field.

DELC fn/v

Required - The name of the alpha field.

START f/c/e

The starting position within the field. The first character in the field is at position 1. If this value isn't specified the program will set start to the first character.

NCHR f/c/e

Required - The number of characters to delete from the field.

EXAMPLE

define my_text type A size 25

my_text = 'This is test data'

Delc my_text Start 9 Nchr 4

msg my_text // This is data

COMMENTS

This command has the same effect as though you cut out a piece of the field and put the remaining two pieces back together, filling the end of the field with spaces.
