How to eliminate 'qvds' from script

Hi,

in order to avoid field name conflicts I use a lot of 'store' sentences creating a lot of qvds.

At the end I have many useless qvds.

Is there a way to eliminate them at the end of the script?

Thanks

Concatenation is not a real problem - NoConcatenate prefix helps there. Concerning Exists() (and Peek, FieldIndex, LookUp), You are right, there might be problem if one wants to differentiate between tables ... then Your recommendation - QUALIFY comes to help

Hi everybody,

I do not like too much the qualify/unqulify option because it takes me a lot of time to control many names in memory even if they are different. I prefer get rid of them temporaly using 'store'/'drop'. Is true that using 'store'/'drop' the confusion goes from the script to the folder where I place the qvds because some of them are trash but others are usefull for other scripts. Maybe create a folder called 'trash' would be a good and simple idea.

Thank you.

And also you can use

Drop Tables TableName1.qvd,TableName2.qvd....TableNameN;

if remove only from model
