 DELETE TAG command
 Delete a Tag
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     DELETE TAG <cOrderName> [IN <xcOrderBagName>]
        [, <cOrderName> [IN xcOrderBagName] list>]

 Arguments

     <cOrderName> is a character string that represents the Order Name.

     <xcOrderBagName> is the name of a disk file containing one or more
     Orders.  You may specify <xcOrderBagName> as the filename with or
     without the pathname or appropriate extension.  If you do not include
     the extension as part of <xcOrderBagName> CA-Clipper uses the default
     extension of the current RDD.

     <cOrderName ...list> is an optional list of Order and Order Bag Name
     pairs, separated by commas.  Any reference to <cOrderName> that results
     in either a null string ("") or spaces is ignored.  You can specify each
     Order as a literal expression or as a character expression enclosed in
     parentheses.  If you specify no extension for the Order Bag Name, the
     current database driver supplies a default extension.

 Description

     This command removes an Order from an Order Bag in the current or
     specified work area.  If you do not specify an <xcOrderBagName>, all
     Orders Bags are searched in the current or specified work area.  The
     first occurrence of <cOrderName> is deleted.  A runtime recoverable
     error is raised if the Order is not found.

     If <cOrderName> is the active Order, the database in the current or
     specified work area reverts to its identity Order (natural or entry)
     order and SET FILTER scoping.

     A runtime error is raised if <xcOrderBagName> does not exist or if it
     exists but does not contain <cOrderName>.

     The active RDD determines the Order capacity of an Order Bag.  The
     default DBFNTX and the DBFNDX drivers only support single-Order Bags,
     while other RDDs may support multiple-Order Bags (e.g., the DBFCDX and
     DBFMDX drivers).

 Examples

     USE Customer VIA "DBFCDX" NEW
     SET INDEX TO Customer

     // Delete the Orders (Tags) Cust01 and Cust02 that
     // exist in the index file Customer
     DELETE TAG Cust01 IN Customer
     DELETE TAG Cust02 IN Customer

     // or
     // DELETE TAG Cust01 IN Customer, Cust02 IN Customer

 Status:  New
