cleaning a table

[basil]

How do I empty all entries of a table?

I would like to reset the table to be empty after each iteration. The following does not work in EViews 6:
table t=””

My solution is:
table t
delete t
table t
(I need the first line in order to avoid an error in the second line)

Any suggestion for better ideas?

Thanks,
Basile

Deleting the table is the only way to completely empty it.

thanks for your quick response.
Just a quick follow up: is there a way to use "delete t" without creating an error in case where t does not exit?

In EViews 7 you can use:

Code: Select all

delete(noerr) t

In EViews 6, you're out of luck.

excellent; thank you.

Just do:

if @isobject("t")=1 then
delete t
endif
