This API deletes an entry in the NAME COMPONENTS file, and optionally,
the value of the pointer in the source file that points to the name components
entry.
NOTE: This API is designed to be used in the KILL logic for
the MUMPS cross-reference mentioned previously in the
UPDCOMP^XLFNAME2(): Update Name Components Entry API.
DELCOMP^XLFNAME2(file,[.]record,field[,ptrfield])
| file: |
(required) The number of the file or subfile (the "source file") that contains the name. |
|
| [.]record: |
(required) The IENS or the Internal Entry Number array (that looks like the DA array) of the record in the source file that contains the name. |
|
| field: |
(required) The number of the field in the source file that contains the name. |
|
| ptrfield: |
(optional) The number of the pointer field in the source file that points to the NAME COMPONENTS file (#20). Only if this parameter is passed will the value of this pointer field be deleted. |
|
| none |
Deletes record. |
Suppose that you have a NAME COMPONENTS file (#20) entry that contains the components of a name stored in File #1000, Record #132, Field #.01. Pointer Field #1.1 of that File #1000 is a pointer to the NAME COMPONENTS file (#20). To delete the entry in the NAME COMPONENTS file (#20), and the value of the pointer field, you can do the following:
>D DELCOMP^XLFNAME(1000,132,.01,1.1)
