In Qedit to delete a column or set of sequential columns do the following:

After opening your file go to the EDIT tab.

Inside the EDIT tab scroll down to the column tab, which will then bring up
3 options:

Select the DELETE option.

The delete option will bring up a box asking for the "from" & "to" columns
to delete.  Enter your value(s) and click "OK".

Subject: [HP3000-L] Editor/Qedit question


Greetings HP list.
I can remember removing any blank lines in a flat file using QUAD  with a
simple delete statement and QUAD allowed you to specify positions in each
record.  We do not have QUAD here (or an old version of it), but I am
wondering if QEDIT allows this function?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Something like:

Delete all (position 1/2) "  "???????
