Answer / bathulasreeni

To remove an existing record from an indexed or relative
file, open the file in I-O mode and use the DELETE
statement. You cannot use DELETE on a sequential file or
line-sequential file.

For information on COBOL opening modes,please refer

mode.html

Answer / surya

After placing a record into a sequential file, it is not possible to delete a record and it is also not possible to change the order of the records.
