Deleting a vector step

Last Updated : Sep 08, 2012 |

Procedure

  1. After entering the change vector command, press Esc F6
  2. At the command line, type d followed by a space and the number of the step to be deleted, and press Enter.

    You can delete a range of vector steps. For example, to delete steps 2 through 5, type d 2-5 and press Enter.

Result

When a vector step is deleted, the system automatically renumbers all succeeding steps and renumbers the goto step references. Under certain conditions, attempts to renumber goto step references results in an ambiguous renumbering situation. In such a case, the step reference is replaced by an asterisk (*).

For example, if you delete step 7 when you have a goto step 7 reference, 7 is replaced by an asterisk (*).

A warning prompts you to resolve the ambiguous references and the cursor automatically moves to the first reference to be resolved. You cannot save a vector with unresolved goto references.
