 | I wish the low level file FUNCTIONS() were documented separately in HELP
from the File class methods. There are enough differences that I
generally get out the VdB 5.x Language Reference or open up VdB 5.x HELP
when my needs dictate the use of the functions rather than the file
class
Back when dBI was in the business of providing printed documentation,
saving a few pages might have been a worthy cost savings but when all
the documentation is electronic surely the bytes are now affordable.
The text and examples are already written in the 5.7 documentation so it
would be strictly a copy-job.
These would be...
Function
FCLOSE( )
FCREATE( )
FEOF( )
FERROR( )
FFLUSH( )
FGETS( )
FOPEN( )
FPUTS( )
FREAD( )
FSEEK( )
FWRITE( )
