Deleted,VIRTUAL
The Deleted method returns Level:Benign (declared in ABERROR.INC) if the current record is active, i.e., if the record has not been identified in some way as deleted. In cases where the DeleteRecord method has been derived to say, flag deleted records rather than physically delete them, deriving a corresponding Deleted method allows these records to be identified.
The standard Deleted method always returns Level:Benign.
Return Data Type: BYTE
Example:
PROGRAM
INCLUDE('ABFILE.INC') !declare FileManager class
MAP !program map
