Clearing the Internal Table
Clearing the Internal Table
Entering the DICTIONARY statement without a volume and subvolume name is a
simple means of clearing the entire internal table and reclaiming table space without
changing the dictionary. To clear only certain elements of the internal table, see the
CLOSE Statement
on page 4-7 and the DELINK Statement on page 4-12. The elements
cleared by the DICTIONARY statement are:
•
All dictionary record descriptions from previous OPEN statements
•
All previous links
•
All user variable, user aggregate, and user table definitions
•
All parameter definitions
•
All information from AT END, AT START, FOOTING, SUBFOOTING, SUBTITLE,
and TITLE statements
The DICTIONARY statement does not change the value set for any option variable (such
as @HEADING or @STATS).
