SETFCREATE()
Default attribute for creating with CA-Clipper Tools functions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SETFCREATE([<nNewFileAttr>]) --> nOldFileAttr
Argument
<nNewFileAttr> Designates a file attribute for a new file.
Returns
SETFCREATE() returns the current default attribute or the previous file
attribute, if the parameter is specified.
Description
CA-Clipper Tools functions use a value of 32 (setting the ARCHIVE bit)
to preset the default for file creation. For example, use SETFCREATE()
when a file needs to acquire another attribute in a network environment.
