Re: [sqr-users] Reset all variables in the program.

[Aleksandr Slobodyanik <aslobody@yahoo.com>]

Thank you very much. I was suspecting that there is no such command. 
Apparently, I did not write the programs.
Thanks again.

Aleksandr,

The short answer is "No, and it's worse than you may think."

There is no command to reset all your global variables. CLEAR-ARRAY
works for arrays, but that's all you get.

To make matters worse, all local variables (in procedures) will also
retain their values from call to call. If you have procedures that
you normally only call once, you may want to make sure that they also
intialize all variables before use.

To avoid this problem, I always initialize variables before use.

Does anyone out there have a utility for finding uninitialized 
variables that Aleksandr could use?
