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, refer to
the CLOSE and DELINK statements in this section. 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).
