FREE

Short Reference

Syntax

FREE dobj.

Effect

The FREE statement has the same effect as the CLEAR

statement for any data objects except internal tables.

For internal tables, FREE has the same effect as the REFRESH statement, though the entire memory area occupied by the table rows is released, and the initial memory area remains unoccupied. If dobj is a structure with table-like components, the memory of each table-like component is released.

Note

If dobj is an internal table with a header line, FREE has the same effect as REFRESH on the table body, and not the header line.
