DELETER monitor command DELETER monitor command Syntax DELETER @task:program real_variable , ..., real_variable Function Delete the named real-valued variables from the system memory. Parameters @task:program These optional parameters specify the context for the real variables. The real variables will be treated as though they are referenced from the specified context. If no context is specified, the real variables will be considered global. See Variable Context for details on specifying context. real_variable Name of a real-valued variable to be deleted. Details Deletes an arbitrary number of real-valued variables.
Thus, this operation can be used to recover the memory storage space occupied by real-valued variables that are no longer needed. Once a real-valued variable is deleted, it cannot be referenced by any eV+ operation or function. An attempt to reference a deleted variable will result in an error message just as if the variable had never been defined. If an array element is specified, that element is deleted. The entire array is deleted, however, if an array name is specified without explicit index(es) (for example, "DELETER a[ ]"). If one or more of the right-most indexes of a multiple-dimension array are omitted, all the elements defined for those indexes are deleted.
(For example, the command "DELETER a [3,2,]" deletes the elements "a[3,2,0]" to "a[3,2,last]". The command "DELETER a[3, , ]" deletes all the elements "a[3, i, j]" for all "i" and "j". The command "DELETER a[, , ]" deletes the entire array). Examples Delete the real variable "count" and the real array element "x[2]". DELETER count, x[2] Delete the real array "part", which is a local variable in the program "insert". DELETER @insert part[] eV+Operating System Reference Guide, 2.x,18321-000 Rev A Page 68
