RESTORE [comment]
RESTORE
The RESTORE statement allows you to begin assigning values beginning with the
first item in the first DATA statement (see DA TA) of the program according to the
next READ statement executed. The syntax of the RESTORE statement is as shown:
RESTORE [comment]
where:
comment
is one or more characters.
The RESTORE statement returns the internal data table pointer from its current
position to the beginning of the table. The optional comment is a character string
that does not affect the execution of the statement.
Notes About RESTORE
• A RESTORE statement in a program that contains no DATA statements is ignored .
• A RESTORE statement for an already restored data table pointer is ignored.
