**#CLEAR(** //symbol// **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#CLEAR** | Removes the value from a single-valued user-defined symbol. |
| //symbol// | A single-valued user-defined symbol. |

The **#CLEAR** statement removes the value from a single-valued user-defined symbol. This statement is approximately the same as using #SET to assign a null value to the //symbol//, except it is more efficient.

**Example:**

**#DECLARE(%SomeSymbol)      #!Declare symbol**

**#SET(%SomeSymbol,'Value')  #!Assign a value**

**                           #!%SomeSymbol now contains: 'Value'**

**#CLEAR****(%SomeSymbol)        #!Clear value**

**                           #!%SomeSymbol now contains: ''**
