UNASSIGN

Short Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax


UNASSIGN <fs>.

Effect

This statement initializes the field symbol <fs>. After the statement, the field symbol does not reference a memory area and the predicate expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED is false.


Notes

  • The statement CLEAR <fs> does not initialize the field symbol and initializes the memory area that is assigned to the field symbol instead.
  • Unlike the initialization of reference variables, the statement UNASSIGN does not affect Garbage Collector.
