2 B4

2 B1

I want to delete all the B2 segments. Is it possible to do a mass delete giving a search criteria thru file-aid/ any other options without writing a program?? please help me out

One more thing - looking at your structure - anytime you delete a parent segment, all children on down are also deleted. So, when you write your process, keep that in mind.
