Delete File(n)
SA <filename> will release the data to the text editor, example SA (FILE1).
Adding a d to that command string will delete the records in the file, example SA (FILE1) d.
The disadvantage to deleting files this way is that if a file is very full it can take a long time to release to the text editor. The shortcut that increases the speed to clear a single file is to check how many records in the file using the dir command and then do a SA FILEn @recordCountMinusAFew D.
That deletes all the records too. So here is an example of me doing that:
>dir Filename Records FILE1 00000792 FILE2 00000151 EVENTS 00000840 AUDIT 00001734 COMPLETE >sa file1 @790 D Test Record 1234563456789d123456789 Test Record 1234563456789d123456789 END DATA >dir Filename Records FILE1 00000000 FILE2 00000151 EVENTS 00000840 AUDIT 00001736 COMPLETE >
To delete all records in all files, including the Audit and Event files, you can use execc dllcmd zero. That is a one shot command, but beware - it clears ALL files.
