Is there any command to flush/clear a focus hold file.
I am using a particular hold file many a time for some looping logic.
When I am reading second time from that hold its reading the old data also.

If you create a hold file it is normally overwritten unless you put the command (append, so the flush/clear is done automatically.

when you read from a hold file by the command
-READ you should add the command NOCLOSE to let the programm the second time read the next line.

I hope this helps

very good idea, CD
-REPEAT end.loop 10 TIMES
TABLE FILE CAR
..do something
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
..do something with that hold file
..now you're done so clear it
CMD ERASE HOLD.*
or DOS ERASE HOLD.*
-end.loop
If some part of your loop fails for some reason, you don't want to be re-processing the same hold file.
but CD you still need to edit your profile to tell us what system you're on
