3.1.4.5 Application Deletes a Record

When the application requests that a record be deleted, the application MUST provide the following information:

  • The Record ID for an existing record.

The record MUST first be validated as follows:

  • The provided Record ID MUST correspond to an existing Record in the database.

  • The existing record MUST NOT be marked as Deleted.

  • The existing Record Type MUST NOT be in the reserved range. For more details, see section 2.2.1.9.

If this record validation fails for any reason, then the record MUST NOT be processed further and an error MUST be returned to the application.

If the record passes the validation, it MUST then be deleted. For more details, see section 3.1.7.9.
