**ClearLeft**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ClearLeft **method clears the contents of each "left" field in the List property.

**Implementation:**

For AddPair pairs, the "left" field is the field whose label is the //first //(left) parameter of the AddPair method; the "right" field is the field whose label is the //second //(right) parameter of the AddPair method. For AddItem pairs, the "left" field is the field whose label is the //only //parameter of the AddItem method. The "right" field is the FieldPairs supplied copy of the "left" field.

The ClearLeft** **method CLEARs the field. See the //Language Reference// for more information on [[clear  clear a variable .htm|CLEAR]].

**Example:**

** Fields &= NEW FieldPairsClass           !instantiate FieldPairs object**

** Fields.Init                             !initialize FieldPairs object**

** Fields.AddPair(CUST:CustNo,CustQ.CustNo)!establish CustNo pair**

** Fields.AddPair(CUST:Name,CustQ.Name)    !establish Name pair**

** Fields.AddPair(CUST:Phone,CustQ.Phone)  !establish Phone pair**

** Fields.AddPair(CUST:ZIP,CustQ.ZIP)      !establish ZIP pair**

** !some code**

** IF LocalRequest = InsertRecord**

**  Fields.ClearRight             !clear the CustQ fields to blank or zero**

** END**
