Hi,
On AIX 7.1 how to create an emty file?
I tried vi but
they create

$vi  myfile
$ ls -l myfile
-rw-------    1 oracle   dba               1 Apr 10 13:34 myfile
I need :
-rw-------    1 oracle   dba               0 Apr 10 13:34 myfile

Thanks

Hmm, vi should actually work.
But easier is

touch myfile

or

> myfile
