In the javax.microedition.rms package only one method is as follows:
compare(byte[] rec1, byte[] rec2):- This is the integer type method and it returns
RecordComparator.PRECEDES, RecordComparator.FOLLOWS, RecordComparator.EQUIVALENT. The PRECEDES apply if rec1 precedes rec2 in sort order, the FOLLOWS apply if rec1 follows rec2 in sort order and the EQUIVALENT apply if rec1 and rec2 are equivalent in terms of sort order.
The Application is as follows:
RMSMIDlet.java

public class RMSMIDlet extends MIDlet{

deleteRecord();
}
