Qualifiers

/B[LOCK]=block_number

Specifies the block associated with the record or buffer being deleted.

On commands with no /BLOCK= qualifier, DSE uses the last block handled by a DSE operation. When no block has been accessed, that is, on the first block-oriented command, DSE uses block one (1).

/C[OUNT]=count

Specifies the number of records to remove. The /COUNT qualifier is incompatible with the /VERSION qualifier.

By default, REMOVE deletes a single record.

/O[FFSET]=offset

Specifies the offset (in bytes) of the record to be removed. If the offset does not point to the beginning of a record, DSE rounds down to the last valid record start (for example, REMOVE /OFF=10 starts at OFF=A if that was the last record). The /OFFSET qualifier is incompatible with the /RECORD and /VERSION qualifiers.

/R[ECORD]=record_number

Specifies the number that identifies the record to remove. The /RECORD qualifier is incompatible with the /OFFSET and /VERSION qualifiers.

/V[ERSION]=version_number

Specifies the version number, in decimal, of the save buffer to remove. /VERSION is required to REMOVE a SAVE buffer. /VERSION is incompatible with all qualifiers except /BLOCK.
