PURGE Command

The PURGE command deletes all volatile variables within a specified variable group. (The PURGE command has no effect on nonvolatile variables.)

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS GLV '[SELECT vargroup] PURGE'

SELECT

(Optional) Specifies the name of a variable group (vargroup) to which the specified variable (varname) belongs.

For more information, see the description of the SELECT command.

If you do not select a variable group, the PURGE command erases all volatile variables in the group selected by the previously issued SELECT command. If you have not yet selected a group, the PURGE command erases all volatile variables in the UNNAMED group.

Examples:

• The following REXX statement erases the volatile variables in the variable group RELAYGRP:

  ADDRESS GLV 'SELECT RELAYGRP PURGE'
  

• The following REXX statement erases all volatile variables in the default variable group (either UNNAMED or another group specified by the previously issued SELECT command):

  ADDRESS GLV 'PURGE'
