we can delete a flat file by directly giving D against it in the listing.

are you asking the way to delete the file or are you talking about the deletion of record from a file?

Hello,

Yes, we can. . . Why do you think we cannot?

Neither of these suggestions delete the file. Why would you believe either of these accomplishes a file deletion? One wipes out the data, but the file still exists.
