Setting values of the EnableOverwriteInputFile property are as follows.
Setting value | Meaning |
|---|---|
True | This permits overwriting input files. |
False | This does not permit overwriting input files. (Default value) |
Description
This specifies the permission by which existing data in the input files is replaced to the sort processing result. In the sort processing (DisposalNumber= 0) , when the output file name set in the OutputFile property corresponds with one of the input file names set in the InputFiles property, it is valid.
The EnableOverwriteInputFile property protects files. When False is set and the output file name is specified to be the same name as one of the input file names, it falls before the process is started. Set True only when you can rewrite the data in the input files.
When this specification is omitted, overwriting the input file is not permitted.
Note
Note that the data in the input file might not be secured when True is specified and an error occurs in the sort processing.
