That specification is very difficult to interpret. Some comments to improve:
- post the full error messages or strange behaviour in lieu of "did not work"
- post sample files (in code tags) instead of pictures so people can work on them
- explain what uncommon programs (sel? del?) do; give success and failure output

I don't know a thing about "direct" nor "sel proc". If the output of the latter is close to what you posted as an image, this might be a starting point for you to taylor and improve:
Code:
number=$(sel proc | awk '/^--*$/ {getline; print $2; exit} /Successfully/ {print 0; exit}')
[ "$number" -eq 0 ] && echo "no hold state" || del proc $number

0 is a PID that will never occur so it seemed quite safe to use as the "token" to convey success.. Killing processes by script is a delicate thing so you should know exactly what you are doing, and you might want to build in other safety steps.
