function   vfDiscard   OMDN

Library: omvfile - virtual file access and locking
Include: omvfile.xin

Declaration

  define external function vfDiscard
      modifiable    omVFile    this-vfile


Purpose

You can use this function to release the resource associated with an omVFile object. After the discard, the omVFile object has no associated resource, and therefore it cannot be used with any of the omVFile functions. The only exception to this statement is that the omVFile object may be reopened with vfOpen to associate another resource with it.

Sample function call:

  set vfWriter vfile to "my new data"
  vfDiscard vfile
