isutl -c [-l][-y] filename[ ...]
Options
-l
(optional) Clear a file while it’s in use.
-y
(optional) Answer “y” to all query prompts.
filename
The name of the ISAM file(s) you want to clear. The default extension is .ism.
Isutl -c provides the ability to clear the contents of an ISAM file and restore it to its original empty state.
|
Use this option with extreme caution; clearing an ISAM file deletes all existing records. |
When you use isutl -c, you’ll be prompted to confirm that you want to clear the file by responding “y” (yes, clear the file) or “n” (no, don’t clear the file). If filename includes a wildcard, for each file, you’ll be prompted, “You are about to clear filename. Do you wish to continue: (Yes/No/All/Quit)?”
-
To clear the file, enter “y”.
-
To skip clearing the file, enter “n”.
-
To clear this and all subsequent files, enter “a”.
-
To cancel clearing the file and quit now, enter “q”.
To suppress the queries entirely by automatically responding “y”, specify the -y option when you run isutl (isutl -c -y).
|
We recommend using isutl -c rather than isload CLEAR to clear a file. |
