Logical Line Delete

The logical line delete symbol (¢) deletes the entire previous physical line, or the last logical line back to (and including) the previous logical line end (#). You can use it to cancel a line containing many or serious errors. If a # immediately precedes the ¢ sign, only the # sign is deleted, because the # indicates the beginning of a new line, and the ¢ cancels the current line. For example:
  • Logical Line Delete:
    ABC#DEF¢       deletes the #DEF and results in ABC
    ABC#¢          results in ABC
    ABC#DEF¢#GHI   results in ABC#GHI
    ABC#DEF¢GHI    results in ABCGHI
  • Physical Line Delete:
    ABC¢           deletes the whole line
Note: When you cancel a line by using the ¢ logical line delete symbol, you do not need to press a carriage return; you can continue entering data on the same line.
