DELETE

 In VSI Fortran, you can specify the following form of the DELETE
 statement when deleting records from a relative file:

   DELETE (u'r [,ERR=s] [,IOSTAT=ios])

   u   Is the number of the logical unit containing the 
       record to be deleted.

   r   Is the positional number of the record to be deleted.

   s   Is the label of an executable statement that receives 
       control if an error condition occurs.

   ios Is a scalar integer variable that is defined 
       as a positive integer if an error occurs and zero if 
       no error occurs.

 This form deletes the direct access record specified by r.
