Message-ID: <367@ihuxa.UUCP> Date: Fri, 10-Feb-84 10:52:50 EST Article-I.D.: ihuxa.367 Posted: Fri Feb 10 10:52:50 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Feb-84 08:23:14 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 16 I am working on a home data base program, and have run into a problem. When I want to remove something from a file, I wind up with an empty entry at the end of the file. Is there any way to 'back up' the end-of-file pointer so that the empty entry disappears, or do I have to always look for the empty entry and start there if I later add something back into the file? I haven't seen anything in the manual that looks like it does the trick. Even solutions using DSKI to read some info from the file and rewrite it using DSKO may be welcome. As usual, please reply be mail. I will summarize responses. Dan Hoelker ihuxa!mstach AT&T Bell Laboratories 979-0986
