dbPurge

dbPurge( 
d_cellView 
) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Forces a cellview to close and removes from virtual memory.

The dbPurge function should be used carefully because all changes made, but not saved, are lost. Furthermore, in the graphics environment, purging a cellview empties any window in which the cellview is being displayed.

When you use dbPurge, undo checkpoints for all edit actions before the purge operation are cleared. To avoid losing the undo checkpoint information when purging a cellview, set the dbUndoAcrossPurge cdsenv variable value to t.

Arguments

d_cellView

Cellview to purge.

Values Returned

t

The cellview is closed.

nil

The cellview is not closed.
