Clear/Delete a variable

Hi all,

I use some variables inside the load script, but I'd need to delete them after the loading has finished.

Thanks

It works for me in 8.5 and QV9 SR1. Given the script:

Set A=bcd;
SET A=;

or:
let a = null();

In both cases the variable does not appear in the front end. Note that the previous caveats in the thread still apply -- if the variable ever appears in the front end it must be deleted manually using the dialog.

Thanks Rob,

now I have the point and could reproduce the logic behaviour:

As you said: If the variable ever appears in the front-end (after script load) it must be deleted manually ... :))

Best regards

Hello Rob,  Thanks for the help.

Reading this carefully it was important for me to grasp the distinction between a script created var, and one that had a definition created via the Settings | Variable Overiew option.  I was confused why my variables were not deleting at times, and now it seems clearer.  Thank you.
