Hi all the wonderful people,

How are you all doing? I have to say: ABAP is the language I love developing in, why? because you guys are helping out and to all of you gurus: Thank you, much appreciated.

I have a problem though, I need to delete or clear the contents of my text file so that I can add new data to it everytime i work with it. I have tried to DELETE or CLEAR but it does not work.

Thank you, points will be awarded if helpful.
