deletb — Delete key from table
subroutine deletb(key,status) character*(*) key integer*4 status
deltb
deletes all data associated to a
key and removes the key from the relational table in the table
buffer. The corresponding key on the database is not removed since
TB works with a copy of the table in the table buffer. To remove a
key from a relational table on the database, load the table (see
gettab
and getdes
), remove
the key, and store the table (see puttab
and
putdes
). Deletion of an key automatically leads
to packing the table buffer.
key
Character string containing the name of the key (input).
status
Status code returned (output). Upon successful completion of the operation, the status value 0 is returned. A negative value is returned, if an error has been detected. A positive value is returned, if a warning has been issued. See MemCom error codes.
