In Intel® Fortran, you can specify the following form of the DELETE statement when deleting records from a relative file:
DELETE (io-unit 'r [, ERR=label] [, IOSTAT=i-var])
io-unit
Is the number of the logical unit containing the record to be deleted.
r
Is the positional number of the record to be deleted.
label
Is the label of an executable statement that receives control if an error condition occurs.
i-var
Is a scalar integer variable that is defined as a positive integer if an error occurs and zero if no error occurs.
This form deletes the direct access record specified by r.
