PACK


Syntax:     PACK

Purpose:    To physically remove from the current database file records
            marked for deletion.

Usage:      When you PACK, all records marked for deletion are removed
            from the current database file, the physical space occupied
            by the deleted records is recovered, and all indexes in USE
            in the current work area are REINDEXed.  Note that PACK does
            not create a backup file or use any temporary files.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
