:CLOSE_PROCESS

Use the :CLOSE_PROCESS script statement to discard a data sequence in a script. Discarding the data sequence releases memory and lets you assign new values to script variables that include a reference to a data sequence. After you have closed a process, the script variable is empty again.

  • This script statement is important for complex processing in scripts where you use data sequences within data sequences.

    • Syntax
