If you are deleting
an observation from the S2K database, (for example, by using the FSEDIT procedure),
use the DELETE command. However, the SAS/ACCESS interface
sets all the values of items in the view descriptor (that is, only the selected
items in the same record) to missing and removes the lowest-level
data record from the database if one or more of its items were selected for
display. Ancestor records are also removed if they do not have other descendant
records. Any data records that will be removed must be locked, but they are
not removed until you move to a different observation.
The DELETE command does not remove items or records
unless your password has U-authority for the specific items and records.
