Re: clear a stmf like clrpfm

If you use the O_TRUNC option on the open() API, it'll clear the file.

With QShell you can do something like:

QSH CMD('printf "" > myfile')

I can't think of a native CL command, but if you're planning to use CPYTOSTMF, you can specify STMFOPT(*REPLACE) to replace the contents of the file without needing to pre-clear it.

Is there a simple command to clear a stmf (stream file) in ifs.
Would rather not del, cpytostmf to create empty file, chgaut to set authority...
Needs to run in clp. V6r1.
The V7R1 InfoCenter show a cmd FCLEAR but it's not on my v6 system.
