-**fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 2 (CmdLineOptions): writeover** 
-===== Writeover -- Temporarily set file overwrite flag===== 
-**usage:**\\ 
- ** -writeover**\\ 
- ** -w** 
  
-The WRITEOVER command temporarily sets the internal OVERWRITE flag. 
-By default, OVERWRITE is zero and any attempt to overwrite an existing file will generate an error message. 
-If OVERWRITE is non-zero, write operations will overwrite existing data files without generating any message. 
-When OVERWRITE is set using the WRITEOVER command, the flag remains set only until the next file writing command. This allows you to selectively indicate which data files to overwrite.\\ 
-For example: 
-<code> 
-  -o exam.wdf -w           ; force writing of file named "exam.wdf", even if it already exists 
-  -o -w                    ; force writing of current data set to file, even if that file exists 
-</code> 
- 
-The default behavior of the OVERWRITE flag can changed using the [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter2:setoverwrite|-SET OVERWRITE]] command. 
-<code> 
-   -set overwrite          ; allow any file to be overwritten without generating error messages 
-   -set overwrite 0        ; default is to not allow existing files to be written unless -w is used 
-</code>
