The RESET statement
resets specified or all items to their default settings. You can reset as
many items as necessary using one RESET statement or the ALL option to reset
all the items. The RESET statement has different effects on access and view
descriptors.
In access descriptors, the default setting for a SAS variable
name is a blank unless you included the AN= statement. If you used the AN=
statement, the names are reset to those generated. The default setting for
SAS formats in access descriptors is determined by the DB Formats of the items.
Any dropped items will be included again.
In
view descriptors, the RESET statement deselects items and resets the SAS name
and format values to those defined in the access descriptor on which the view
descriptor is based. The SAS names and formats are unaffected by the RESET
statement if you specified the AN= statement with a value of Y when you created
the access descriptor on which this view descriptor is based.
The following list explains the arguments
that appear in the RESET statement:
-
ALL
- resets all the items defined in the access
descriptor to their default setting. For a view descriptor, the ALL option
resets only the items that are selected.
- item-name
- specifies the name of the item that you
want to reset. If you specify a record or group name, all the items in that
record or group are reset.
- index-number
- specifies the index number of the item that
you want to reset. The index number represents the item's place in the access
descriptor. You can get the index number of an item using the LIST statement
described earlier in this section. If you specify a record or group index
number, all the items in that record or group are reset.
