Hi,

How do I delete everything from a page except for a specified list of objects? I'm working on a subroutine where I create a new page and I will have an arbitrary number of objects in that new page that I want to get rid of.

As I understand it the PageSave @keep isn't useful because that creates a new workfile, but I want to stay in the same workfile!

Thanks,

/Erik.

Nevermind, I found a simple solution:

Code: Select all

Subroutine Keep(String %KeepThese)
   %Everything = @Upper(@WLookup("*"))
   %KeepThese  = @Upper(%KeepThese)
   %DeleteList = @WNotIn(%Everything,%KeepThese)
   %DeleteList = @WDrop(%DeleteList,"c resid")
   Delete {%DeleteList}
EndSub
