Subject
: "TMP" FILES
CAFAM Directory seems to fill up with TMP (Temporary files).
Two
types of TMP files are created during the course of using CAFAM:
1. Files pre-fixed TMP_xxxx.DBF e.g. TMP_AJD.DBF
2. Files
suffixed nnnnnnnn.TMP e.g. 23221849.TMP
The
first type are created by CAFAM in the course of using the Program
and during the process of doing a DAILY FILE MAINTENANCE should be
deleted automatically
provided CAFAM
can 'shell to DOS' and
run the MS
DOS command DEL
(Delete). However, this operation might not
always happen
due to RAM memory considerations.
The second type are created by the Foxpro Data Engine and are always automatically deleted if CAFAM is closed down by exiting correctly through the Program. However any stalled Program (lock-up re-boot) or abrupt Power-off shutdown will result in these files being orphaned and will never be deleted by Foxpro.
You
can safely delete any of the files specified above. Use any
means you are
familiar with to perform this operation e.g.
Drag
and Drop
files starting
or ending
with "TMP"
from the CAFAM
folder into the Recycle bin or,
Use
Windows Explorer
to identify
and delete these files or, Use
MS DOS commands by type DEL TMP*.*
and DEL
*.TMP from the
MSDOS Prompt. CAREFUL that
you type these wildcard commands accurately !!
