The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 2.0, 2.5,and 2.50a

  • Microsoft FoxBase for the Macintosh, version 2.01

SUMMARY

The RELEASE ALL command does not purge all memory variables currently contained in memory, as the command name seems to imply.

MORE INFORMATION

Public variables must be released by stating the variable's name specifically. Also, when the RELEASE ALL command is used in a program module, it does not release variables other than those in the current module. To release a particular variable in another module, or in a module declared with the PUBLIC identifier, use the RELEASE <variablename> command.
