The ECL parser should accept the dashed versions of these commands. Any

Bill,
Not sure whether you are on UV or UD, so I will avoid using the EDIT-LIST
command (which UD does not have). Given that restriction, probably the
easiest method would be to
SELECT PS = [101393 BY-DSND @ID
(assuming that @id is left-justified)
If only 1 item selected, DELETE PS
If more
The easiest way I got over this is to select the file by @ID. The
control characters are usually at the top or the end (by.dsnd)
Then do an ED file
And then delete the record, stepping through the select list.
