RE: Clearing IFS files

There's an option when you open it to truncate the file. I forget what the flag 
is but the API documentation has it in it.

Subject: Clearing IFS files






Anyone know of a command or a good way to clear an IFS file?  I probably
need to open(), read(), close() but I am not sure how to clear.  DEL
deletes the file but I want to keep the file empty.  Maybe something
similar to CLRPFM.  The best way I know of is to use DEL and then recreate.
Any thoughts?  Anyone have some good examples of updating an IFS file
similar to the RPG update, write, delete, etc?
