Given that restriction, probably the easiest method would be to SELECT PS = "[101393" BY-DSND @ID (assuming that @id is left-justified) If only 1 item selected, DELETE PS If more than 1 item selected, SELECT PS SAMPLE 1, then LIST PS to be sure that the one selected is the one with the unusual characters in the key. If yes, then repeat the two SELECTs and DELETE PS. If no, then your system is sorting unprintable characters differently than mine is, and you will have to play with the selection process in order to get the right record selected prior to deleting it.
