Syntax
<Result> = HCancelAlias(<Alias name>)
<Result>: Boolean
- True if the operation was performed,
- False if a problem occurred. HError is used to identify the error.
<Alias name>: Character string (with or without quotes)
Name of the alias file to cancel. A non-fatal WLanguage error occurs if the alias does not exist.
Remarks
When cancelling an alias (
HCancelAlias):
- modifications made with HChangeName and HChangeDir are not cancelled. If the alias is described again, these parameters are stored and re-applied.
- if a data file has been created with a name given by HChangeName and a location given by HChangeDir, the data file is not physically deleted.
