[comp.databases] Erasing file from Clipper

matthew.silver@canremote.uucp (MATTHEW SILVER) (11/16/89)

dP>I would like to erase a file from within a Clipper application ...

dP>        filename = 'xyz' + str(num) + '.prn'
dP>        erase file filename

You were so close ....

The manual states ... (Summer '87 version)

erase filename.ext      && where filename.ext is static

        -or-
erase (filename)        && where filename is established in your example
                        && above

dP>                or

dP>        filename = 'xyz' + str(num) + '.prn'
dP>        erase file &filename

          erase &filename
