message log truncate argument: Delete the contents of a message log file (SQL administration API)
Use the message log truncate argument or file truncate argument with the admin() or task() function to specify the particular online, ON-Bar activity, or ON-Bar debug message log file to truncate. When the database server truncates a message log file, it deletes the messages in the log file, but keeps the log file.
