DELETE removes the current record from an ISAM table.
 
DELETE [#]filenumber%
    ■ The argument filenumber% is the number used in the OPEN statement
      to open the table.
 
Usage Notes
    ■ If the record you delete is the last record according to the table's
      current index, the current index position is at the end of the table
      and there is no current record.
    ■ When you delete any other record in the table, the record following
      the deleted record becomes the current record. The record preceding
      the deleted record remains the previous record.
