Delete command...

[Jay R. Ashworth]

On a related topic, I've recently had to deal with some code that does
something *really* stupid: in a 'LOOKUP NEXT SELF=myownfilename' loop, it
does a 'DELETE self' command, eventually trying to delete the record the
primary loop is sitting on.

It's unsurprising that you're not allowed to do this, but *it has it's
own error message*, which I'd never seen before (because *I* was never
stupid enough to do it :-).

Cheers,
