Lookup row delete

Raghul_S · ‎11-01-2021

Hi,

I've added a new row to an existing lookup file for testing the query and now I need to delete the last couple of rows to retain it to its original form. Is that possible, and if yes, please give me a solution!!!

Thanks in advance!

Read the whole lookup in (inputlookup), remove the unwanted events (with a where command or somesuch), then write the whole lookup (outputlookup append=f)
