| Directives |
|
| Format | DELETE [start_stmtref][,[end_stmtref]] Where: |
|
| end_stmtref | Last program statement to be deleted. Line label or number. | |
| start_stmtref | Starting program statement to be deleted. Line label or number. | |
| Description | Use the DELETE directive to delete a range of statements from the current program. For example, DELETE SECT1,450 deletes from statement label SECT1: to line 0450, inclusive. If you only include a starting statement reference, only that statement is deleted; e.g., DELETE 510 ! Deletes statement 0510 510 ! Is the same as DELETE 510 If you include both a starting reference and a comma, all statements from the reference to the end of the program are deleted. If you include a comma and an ending reference, statements from the start of the program up to and including the ending reference are deleted; e.g., DELETE 260, ! Deletes statements from line 0260 to program end DELETE ,890 ! Deletes from program start, up to and including line number 0890 If you omit statement references, the complete program is deleted from memory. |

| Examples | ->LIST 0010 REM "TEST" 0020 PRINT "TEST" 0030 STOP ->DELETE ->LIST No program is in memory, so ProvideX doesn't return a listing and will report errors if you try to EDIT or SAVE. |
