if the file x.file exists, it will write an end of file marker on it. +-erasing what was in x.file.
it won't ( should not ) clear the x.dir directory. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shawn Waldie Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 1:49 PM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: WEOFSEQ I need some clarification. Given the following: X.DIR = "X.HOME.WALDIES"; * the VOC item 'X.HOME.WALDIES' is a pointer to /home/waldies X.FILE = "SRW_TEST_SEQ.txt" OPENSEQ X.DIR,X.FILE TO FV.SEQ THEN WEOFSEQ FV.SEQ ELSE ... END Upon a successful open of X.DIR at X.FILE, will the WEOFSEQ erase everything in X.DIR starting with X.FILE, including other files that may exist under - positionally - X.FILE? Or is it just suppose to "clear" anything that might be contained in X.FILE? This what the *help* says: The UniBasic WEOFSEQ command writes an end-of-file mark at the record pointer position in a sequential file, which results in the file (...in my case, X.DIR or X.FILE?) being truncated at the current position.
