RESET Command
The RESET command stops compilation of a current statement and returns to the
state before compilation of that statement began.
RESET Command Guidelines
The following points are guidelines for using the RESET command:
•
You should use RESET only in interactive sessions. (It functions in the
noninteractive mode, but is more useful in the interactive mode.)
•
You should use RESET whenever an error or series of errors makes it difficult to
continue compilation.
RESET Command Example
This example shows an interactive session in which a structure is entered incorrectly;
RESET forces DDL to stop parsing that structure so it can be reentered correctly:
RESET

*** ERROR *** Invalid lexical level
