-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.
