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.
