Deleting/Updating segments with no unique fields

I am new to IMSDB and am just trying to get familiar with IMSDB programming. I have a case wherein the segment does not hold any key fields. In case I need to update or delete such a segment, how do I go about it?

Reserve the segment using GHN, GHNP or GHU; the H stands for HOLD so nobody else can modify the segment. After that use the REPL call. This can be done for any segment type with or without (unique sequence field). Since you are new to IMS please take some time and read the manuals. Also check the sticky where to find info about IMS.
