CLEAR ALL FIELDS

Execution

PERFORM RMP--CAF-PANELNAME

Description

This standard run-time function inserts spaces in all alphanumeric fields/controls and zeros in all numeric and date fields/controls on the panel. It is the equivalent of issuing an INITIALIZE statement to each field defined in panelname.WS.

Required Parameters

None.

Returned Values

The value for each field/control in the panel is stored within panelname.WS.

Additional Usage Notes

The panel does not need to be displayed before clearing the fields/controls.
This standard run-time function is similar to the INITIALIZE ALL FIELDS standard run-time function. However, the INITIALIZE ALL FIELDS standard run-time function sets all fields/controls to their default values, which may not be zero or spaces.
This standard run-time function does not display the fields/controls on the screen.
