The Initialize built-in variable method clears the database buffer of the class and re-initializes the class instance to a completely empty (just constructed) state. It is generally for use prior to automatic entry processing but can be used at any time.
Syntax
<<variable>>::Initialize(void) : void
Owner
Any variable.
Note: Initialize method is not a replacement for INIT (Initialize) command. The INITIALIZE statement/command is supposed to set the attribute to the value specified either GLB.HIGH, GLB.LOW, GLB.ZEROS, GLB.MAX, GLB.MIN. If the values are not specified then strings are set to spaces and numerics to zeros. On the other hand the Initialize() method, has a different behaviour in AB Suite. This method initializes each attribute with its initial values (if defined). Refer to Initialize for more information.
