Syntax

Clear main file

Description

This command clears the main file record from the current record buffer. The command does not clear the values taken from the other files.

The Clear main file command does not redraw the window so remember to include an explicit Redraw window command if you want the screen to reflect the contents of the buffer.

Example

# Clear the current record buffer of file variables from the main
# file fAccounts and redraw the current window instance
Set main file {fAccounts}
Clear main file
Do $cinst.$redraw()
