Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Description

This parameter determines whether FMS writes a word at the end of a file when it is opened. The following options are available:

  • 0, Do not write a word at the end of the file when it is opened.
  • 1, Write a word at the end of the file when it is opened.

Writing a word at the end on open will physically reserve the space and guarantee that sufficient disk space is available for solving the problem. However a significant amount of time may be required, as much as writing the entire file, to perform this operation.
