Determine if an element has been deleted since the Comparison Date. The functionality of DELETED() is identical to using the pseudo attribute ELEDELC.
Examples |
|
|---|---|
|
Q ( DELETED() )- |
returns deleted since comparison date |
|
However if the element has been deleted then you cannot have navigated to it in the first place, hence DELETED() by itself will always be true. There are two ways around this. |
|
|
Either include the element’s reference number, for example: |
|
|
Q (DELETED() of =15752/234 ) |
|
|
Or use it as part of the 'old' syntax. For example: |
|
|
Q OLD (DELETED() of /VESS2) |
