CLEAR prefix (full-screen mode)

Clears a breakpoint when you enter this command through the Source window prefix area or clears a selected member of the current set of MONITOR commands when you enter this command through the Monitor window prefix area.

integer

Selects a relative statement (for C and PL/I) or a relative verb (for COBOL) within the line to remove the breakpoint if there are multiple statements on that line. The default value is 1. For optimized COBOL programs, the first relative statements is the first executable statement, which was not discarded by the optimizer.

Usage notes

• The CLEAR prefix command cannot be used while you replay recorded statements by using the PLAYBACK commands.
• Use CL in the Monitor window prefix area to clear a member of Monitor window.
• Use CC in the Monitor window prefix area to clear a selected block of lines from the Monitor window.

Examples

• In the Source window, clear a breakpoint at the third statement or verb in the line (typed in the prefix area of the line where the statement is found).

  CLEAR 3

  No space is needed as a delimiter between the keyword and the integer; hence, CLEAR 3 is equivalent to CLEAR3.

• In the Monitor window, type CL in the prefix area to on the line that displays the entry you want to remove, then press Enter.
