DELETE |
Remove Lines from Program |
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. |
Use the DELETE directive to delete a range of statements from the current program.
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:
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:
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.

rem "TEST"
print "TEST"

No program is in memory, so PxPlus does not return a listing and will report errors if you try to EDIT or SAVE.
