Clearing a Table

Clearing a table deletes all records in the table. Both Dictionary tables and Data Level tables can be separately cleared. If clearing a Dictionary table, the Data Level tables residing within that Dictionary table are not cleared. Additionally, Dictionary table D-pointers that point to tables are not deleted.

To clear a table:

1. Right-click the Dictionary or Data Level table to clear from the Domain Explorer and select the Clear Table Dictionary option (for Dictionary tables) or the Clear Data Level option (for Data Level tables).

   If the Warnings Displayed option is enabled from the File Manger - Options dialog, the Clear table dialog box displays and confirmation is required. See File Manager Options for more information.

   

2. Click Yes.

   The records in the specified table are cleared.
