Explaining Example -

In the above example:

• Fixed length KSDS (MATEPK.EMPL.KSDS) file is used as an input file.
• File organization is INDEXED and accessing mode should be RANDOM.
• It deletes the record with the employee ID "E0005" directly if it exists and displays the message "Record deleted successfully".
