NAME


clearlf - clear contents in an existing RMSfile

SYNOPSIS


clearlf datafile

DESCRIPTION


Clearlf removes the contents of an RMSfile.  This utility is used when
the contents of the RMSfile are no longer needed, but the RMSfile will
be re-used (as in a scratch file).  Once the contents of an RMSfile 
have been removed with clearlf they are no longer accessible to any 
program.

NOTES


If the datafile argument has the form dbname~lfile or ~lfile, then 
clearlf clears the file using the database and logical file name.  If 
the datafile argument has the form filename (i.e. it has neither a ~ nor
/ in the name), then it is taken as a logical file name using the default
database name.
