I am converting an old MFPS 5.0 application to CFV. The application does BACKSPACE and ENDFILE processing on direct access files. I thought I could use the DELETE verb to remedy this. I get a Error 55 which does not provide much help. Do I have to turn the fpscomp compiler option on and use the code as is? I really don't want to.

DELETE requires that you open the file ORGANIZATION='RELATIVE'. This also requires that you rewrite the file, as this adds an extra byte for a delete flag.
