I'm very new to Focus. How do you Delete records off a hold file or Foc file. Thanks
 
A HOLD file is (normally) a flat sequential file. You can just edit it, like any other file.

For a FOCUS format file (extension of .FOC), you need to use either the MODIFY or MAINTAIN language. They're procedural languages, which is what you WANT for data maintenance, so the exact code depends on your data definition, and HOW you identify the record to be deleted.
