                String library,
                String name)
Constructs a SaveFile object.
Note: This method does not create a save file on the server. To create a save file, use create() or create().

Parameters:
system - The server where the save file is located.
library - The library (on the server) where the save file is located. Example: "MYLIB1". Case is preserved.
name - The name of the save file. Example: "MYFILE1". Case is preserved.
Method Detail

                  InterruptedException,
                  ObjectDoesNotExistException
Clears all existing records from the save file and reduces the amount of storage used by this file.

A save file must be cleared before it can be used again to receive data from a save command or to receive another save file.

Throws:
