Examples: OverwriteFile property

This script opens the LOG.TXT file for logging. The existing contents of the file are removed before any actions or errors are logged.

Dim currentLog As New NotesLog( "Bump on a Log" )
currentLog.OverwriteFile = True
Call currentLog.OpenFileLog( "c:\log.txt" )
'...log some actions and errors...
Call currentLog.Close

This agent script sets the OverwriteFile property to True if the agent last ran over seven days ago. If the agent last ran within the last seven days, it sets the OverwriteFile property to False.
