Delete function
Posted: July 31st, 2012, 4:48 am
Hi,
I am cleaning some data. One of my entry operators has filled excess record occurences with "missing" values. The others have just ended the group. This is not a big issue, but when I compare the data (it was entered twice) this obviously shows up as a difference. The list of differences is currently 500 pages, so I tried shortening it by deleting these empty record occurences. Using the delete function. I've used the code from the delete function's help entry, only replacing the item names and the record name. However, on compile I get the following errmsg:
"ERROR: Record, group or multiple item name expected near line 14 in MOD1_1_EDT procedure"
I actually copied the record name, checked it five times, but I can't see the problem. Here's a screenshot:
Anyone ever used the delete function and come across this issue?
Thanks,
Koen
