SYNTAX

RI

RI(n)

SYNTAX ELEMENTS

p specifies starting parameter from which to clear to the end of the buffer. Can be a number, or a direct or indirect reference to a buffer or select register.

(n) specifies the starting column from which to clear to the end of the buffer. Can be a number, or a direct or indirect reference to a buffer or select register.

NOTES

The RI command clears the entire PIB and SIB.

RIp clears the PIB starting from parameter p and continuing to the end of the buffer.

RI(n) clears the PIB starting from parameter n and continuing to the end of the buffer.

The buffer pointer will be left at the end of the PIB. The primary input buffer becomes the active buffer and the secondary input buffer will be cleared.
