2—delete row

You can use the Delete row option to remove an existing row from an open table. When you select the Delete row option, perform these tasks on the Tables panel:

Specify the name of a table in the Table Name field. If the table is not open, specify NOWRITE or WRITE in the Open tables field.
Specify a row number or a search operand list to identify a row.

When you press Enter, a panel is displayed (Figure 1) to allow you to confirm the delete request.
