If you do a WEOFSEQ after all your WRITESEQs, the file will be truncated at that point. Something like this:
OPENSEQ 'path/filename' TO F.SEQ ... * pointer is at beginning of file LOOP WHILE STUFF.TO.WRITE DO WRITESEQ STUFF.TO.WRITE ON F.SEQ ELSE ... REPEAT WEOFSEQ F.SEQ ... This insures that even if what you're writing this time is fewer 'lines' than last time, the file will not contain any leftovers at the end. Richard B.

I have tried CLEAR and CLEARFILE, but may not have the correct syntax. How do I go about this? TIA, as always.
