Deleting variable declarations

DELETE-VARIABLE can be used to delete a variable declaration from its current scope; i.e. including the declarations of imported task variables. The name of the variable can then no longer be used, and in addition its contents are no longer available.

The following variable declarations cannot be deleted by DELETE-VARIABLE:

• procedure parameters

• elements of complex variables

• system variables (e.g. SYSWITCH)

• container JVs

• variable containers for temporary variables

• structure layouts
