[U2][UD] Is it possible to resize a file to something smaller?

[jjuser ud2]

Or is it only possible to resize it to be larger?  Would I need to
create a blank file and simply select and copy the records from big
file A to small file B, then resize small file B for appropriate
growth?

This is pretty much what memresize does.  Creates a temp file called rszt...
at whatever size you specify, copies the records and then moves the rszt
file over the top of the old.  You tell memresize to create whatever sized
file you like but if too small, it will overflow as normal when the records
are written in.
