RDELETE and RSELECT commands: point to note

The RSELECT and RDELETE commands are supported on the

FreeFlow Print Server LCDS systems only for offline printing.

RDELETE command example

The following commands illustrate the use of RDELETE to process interspersed reports on a record basis. Refer to the figure below.

T1: TABLE

CONSTANT=('EFGH');

C1: CRITERIA

CONSTANT=(104,4,EQ,T1);

RDELETE

TEST=C1;

The above example shows that, if the contents of a deletion control field located 104 bytes from the start of the user portion of the record are equal to the constant 'EFGH,’ the record is not printed.

In the example illustrated in the following figure, records 2 and 6 will not be printed.
