Arguments

(This command has no arguments)

Description

This command removes records that were marked for deletion from the currently selected database. This command does not pack the contents of a memo field; those files must be packed via low-level fuctions.

All open index files will be automatically reindexed once PACK command has completed its operation. On completion, the record pointer is placed on the first record in the database.
