CLEAR NAMED SELECTION

CLEAR NAMED SELECTION ( name )

ParameterTypeDescription
nameString🡒Name of named selection to be cleared

Description​

CLEAR NAMED SELECTION clears name from memory and frees the memory used by name. The command does not affect tables, selections, or records. Since named selections use memory, it is good practice to clear named selections when they are no longer needed.

If name was created using the CUT NAMED SELECTION command and then manipulated using the USE NAMED SELECTION command, name no longer exists in memory. In this case, the CLEAR NAMED SELECTION command does not need to be used.
