Thanks Fred. I will check it out.  I have read the excellant documentation on the 
Fitzgerald & Long web site.   I do use the Fast tool and it is absolutely fantastic.   
The reason that I was asking was this...

I have the need to update a test account wtth data from our live account.  I wrote a 
routine to do this that takes care of index paths, distritubted files, etc...  But, 
for this particular test, I wanted only about 300 of the 1000 or so files on our 
system.  The other 700 I wanted to just replace the existing file with a small empty 
file like 18 1 1.  I was wondering if it would hurt anything to create a file say 
TEMP_FILE 18 1 1 and cp this same file 700 times.  Is there anything within the header 
of the file that would make this a bad idea?   Or would it be better to...
DELETE.FILE DATA FILENAME
CREATE.FILE DATA FILENAME 18 1 1

or

cp production_path test_path
CLEARFILE FILE
RESIZE FILE 18 1 1

Thanks,

Scott
