php <?php

try {

  $custnum=$this->createCustomer();

  $res=$client->deleteCustomer($token, $custnum);

  $this->assertTrue($res);

}

Java

This example uses the Newtek Gateway Java library. For directions on how to install the library and create the token/client objects, go to the Java JAX-WS Howto.

    try {
      //Set CustNum for Customer you want to delete
      BigInteger CustNum = BigInteger("12345678");

      //Delete Customer
      client.deleteCustomer(token, CustNum);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Soap Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }

.NET VB

    Dim custNum As String
            custNum = "103125"

            Dim response As Boolean
            response = client.deleteCustomer(token, custNum)
            MsgBox(response)

.NET C

                try
                {
                    response = client.deleteCustomer(token, custNum);
                    if (response)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show(string.Concat("Succesfull"));
                    }
                    else MessageBox.Show(string.Concat("Error!"));
                }

                catch (Exception err)
