ARES/Data Change Help File CHANGE.HLP
If you made a mistake when entering data, you can delete or
update records.
Delete:
To delete an entry, you need to know the record number.
If ARES/Data just gave you a response like:
1450: data input accepted, #234.
then this record is number 234. To delete it, enter:
d 234
(Or, ask the sysop to delete it for you. The remote delete
command may be disabled, in which case you must have the sysop
do this for you).
Be extremely careful in using the delete command! Always list
the record first before deleting to be sure you have the right one.
Update:
The update command is used if only a single field needs to be changed.
Syntax:
#nnnn,m=new text for fieldm<cr>
where nnnn is the record number, and where m = 1-4 for the first
four fields, and m = 5 for the message. For example, suppose you
needed to change the value in field3 of record 235 to "shelter 9".
You would type:
#235,3=shelter 9<cr>
Note that when you correct or update a single field like this, the
time and date for the record are not changed. ARES/Data responds
by showing you what the old values for record 235 were, and what
the new values are according to your update command.
