Alternative Syntax for the DELETE Statement

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

DELETE (io-unit 'r [, ERR=label] [, IOSTAT=i-var])

io-unit

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

r

Is the positional number of the record to be deleted.

label

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

i-var

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.
