Transforms the crossed records (
HCross) found in a data file into deleted records. The space occupied by the crossed records is freed and it can be re-used during the next additions (
HAdd).
Reminder: A crossed record is inactive and it disappears from the index. The data found in this crossed record is not deleted (unlike
HDelete).
// Delete all crossed records from "Customer"
HFree(Customer)
Syntax
<Result> = HFree([<Data file>])
<Result>: Boolean
- True if the record was deleted,
- False if a problem occurs: the record is not deleted. HError is used to identify the error.
<Data file>: Optional character string
Name of the data file used. If this name is not specified, HFree will use the last data file used by the last HFSQL function (function starting with "H").
Remarks
This function is not suitable for the xBase files.
