If you mean remove the null key, you can drop the null using the following syntax:

q)show d:(4?(0Nd,3?.z.D))!1 2 3 4 2006.11.03| 1 2008.12.03| 2 | 3 | 4 q)enlist[0Nd] _ d 2006.11.03| 1 2008.12.03| 2

2023.03.12| data.log202303120859 data.log202303131959
2023.03.13| data.log202303131959

sorry i missed in the above question. i want to remove the null value from 2023.03.13. the key 2023.03.13 has an null value in the dictionary stored as a symbol.

> dict[2023.03.13]

`` `data.log202303131959

You could use except each  as follows:

q)d:(2023.03.12 2023.03.13)!(data1.logdata2.log;``data3.log) q)d 2023.03.12| data1.log data2.log 2023.03.13| data3.log q)d except’ 2023.03.12|data1.logdata2.log 2023.03.13| ,data3.log
