It has been a while but I think if you create a data structure using the
filename (EXTFILE I think was the keyword) and do not make it qualified, you
can clear the data structure and it will clear all of the fields in it and
the file.

Subject: Clearing all fields of a record in preparation to write a new one
I'm trying to remember:
I have a scenario in which I will need to find the last customer number in a
file, increment that customer number, and then write a new record, with
initial values for only a few of the fields.
Is there an easy way, using traditional RPG scatter-gather I/O, to clear out
all the fields of the record?
