If you are going to delete the record anyway, you could map all fields to an
array and clear the array thereby blanking the all fields prior to deleting the
record.

If the displayed fields are fairly contiguous, just map the array to include all
the displayed fields, clear the array, display the results and then delete the
record.

	if: 
    then: dim myarray(nn):1
	if:
    then: clear myarray;display;delete;end
