'delete' a macro variable

abdullala — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:29:07 GMT

Is there a way to disable or delete a previously defined macro variable? not to set it to null, but 'destroy' this macro variable? thanks a bunch!

Try %SYMDEL macro-variable(s);

Please note that, The %SYMDEL function works ONLY on GLOBAL macro variables.
