7.38 DLT_LIST

The DLT_LIST command is used to delete all entries in a list.

The list may be a browse list (used for displaying information at a workstation) or a working list (used to store information within a program).

Normally it is only ever used when exiting from a function or to reduce the number of "active" browse lists in a function. Only 10 browse lists can be "active" (ie: contain information) at any one time within a function.

Executing a DLT_LIST command against a working list is functionally identical to executing a CLR_LIST command.

Deleting a list that contains no entries is a valid operation. No error will result.
