Wait... there's got to be more to it than this. Its possible they've
created a "logical" delete marker that's part of the data record. In this
case you can do...

fcopy from=.... ;subset="your delete marker",column #, exclude

people used to do this because (among other things) they did not know how
to read "deleted" records from a ksam/V file, as in

fcopy from=...;nouserlabels;subset=#%377,%377#,,exclude

My question now is: How do you resurrect "deleted" records in ksam/XL ?
