It is optionally permitted for single-user transaction processing applications to remove S*.FCS and L*.FCS upon a successful shutdown. The FairCom DB checkpoint code determines at the time of a final checkpoint if there are no pending transactions or file opens, and if the user profile (see InitInitISAMXtd in the function reference section) has the USERPRF_CLRCHK bit turned on. If so, the S*.FCS files are deleted, and the current L*.FCS files are deleted. The USERPRF_CLRCHK option is off by default.
Note: If the application is causing log files to be saved (very unusual for a single-user application), the files are not cleared.
If the log files are cleared, the following sequence MAY lead to error HTRN_ERR (520):
That is, opening the index within a transaction and then updating the index could cause a conflict with FairCom DB’s internally maintained transaction high-water mark.
