All,

I am not good at modify. Here I am trying to delete the rows in 'CSV' file based on match using MODIFY. But when I use the following code, I am getting Deleted Row=0
Is there anything I am missing here? Any help appreciated

FILEDEF LATE_TIME_TEMPLATE DISK \\NASTST\BIRPTDEV\IBI\APPS\ITSANDBOX\LATE_TIME_TEMPLATE.CSV
TABLE FILE LATE_TIME_TEMPLATE
PRINT BILLRATE PAYRATE HOURS SPREAD
BY NAME
ON TABLE HOLD AS LATE_TIME FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

MODIFY FILE LATE_TIME_TEMPLATE
FIXFORM FROM LATE_TIME
MATCH NAME BILLRATE PAYRATE HOURS SPREAD
ON MATCH DELETE NAME BILLRATE PAYRATE HOURS SPREAD
ON NOMATCH GOTO TOP
DATA ON LATE_TIME
END

0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 1 LINES= 1 0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 3 LINES= 3 0 TRANSACTIONS: TOTAL = 3 ACCEPTED= 3 REJECTED= 0 SEGMENTS: INPUT = 0 UPDATED = 0 DELETED = 0

MODIFY cannot delete from CSV files, only FOCUS and SQL sources.

You may be able to use a TABLE request to filter the records not needed and then hold the data as a new/original CSV
