Syntax

InvokeDelete(apiObject,
             statusMessage,
             errorCode,
             deleteOptionsObject)

The InvokeDelete() function has four parameters:

  • apiObject (API Object): Required. The API Object to delete.
  • statusMessage (AMPscript variable): Required. An AMPscript variable that stores the API status message.
  • errorCode (AMPscript variable): Required. An AMPscript variable that stores the API error code.
  • deleteOptionsObject (API Object): A DeleteOptions API object.

Usage

This example creates a Subscriber API Object and sets a property on it. It then deletes the Object and outputs the status code. If the status code doesn’t equal "OK," it outputs the status message and error code.

%%[
  var @sub, @statusCode, @statusMessage, @errorCode
  set @sub = CreateObject("Subscriber")

  SetObjectProperty(@sub, "CustomerKey", "4231")

  set @statusCode = InvokeDelete(@sub, @statusMessage, @errorCode)
]%%

<p>Status Code: %%=v(@statusCode)=%%</p>

%%[If @statusCode != "OK" then]%%
<p>Status Message: %%=v(@statusMessage)=%%</p>
<p>Error Code: %%=v(@errorCode)=%%</p>
%%[EndIf]%%
