Description

E@DBFULLDELETE deletes the current record in the file record area for the specified <FileName>.

When this routine deletes a database record, it also deletes all index entries associated with that record and any related records according to the following delete rules as set in the database file definition.

Delete Rule	Description
Delete Ignored	No deletion of related records.
Delete Restrict	Related records must be deleted or moved first by the application.
Delete Cascades	Delete all records in the related table described by the relation.

For more information on data deletion rules, see the Application Development Workbench Standards guide

You must first read this record using a MODIFY routine before using the E@DBFULLDELETE call.

E@DBFULLDELETE does not access any record retrieval variables (D@ fields). The record area associated with the file already contains the key field.
