deleteRecordStatic

Deletes a record from the specified table in the query.

Location: query.i

Parameters:

INPUT piTableIndex AS INTEGER Returns: LOGICAL

Notes: This function is necessary in order to work around a limitation with the BUFFER-DELETE( ) method for buffer handles. The method fails if there is delete validation defined on the target table. The workaround is to use a static “DELETE {table}.” statement instead.
