Clear_Main_File

Clear_Main_File performs a clear on the Data Dictionaries main file. Normally, you will first want to forward-send this message and then perform any type of augmentation.

If you are using this event to clear an additional table, you must inform the Data Dictionary about this by sending the message Request_Clear_File:

Procedure Clear_Main_File
    Forward Send Clear_Main_File
    Clear AuxFile
    Send Request_Clear_File AuxFile.File_Number
End_Procedure

When accessing table values, you should always access the global file buffers and not the DDO buffers (i.e., use the Move File.Field to var syntax). See Understanding File Buffers and DDO Field Buffers for more information.
