Inside procedures you should always use DEFINE/LOCAL instead because local keywords are automatically removed upon termination of the procedure! \\ Local keywords, i.e. the ones created via DEFINE/LOCAL inside a procedure are not processed by this command, because local keywords are automatically destroyed at the end of the procedure where they have been created. \on\see See also: WRITE/KEYWORD, DEFINE/LOCAL_KEYWORD, SET_MIDAS keyw= \ees\exs Examples: \ex DELETE/KEYW pluto Assuming that you entered e.g. "WRITE/KEYW pluto/i/1/3 1,2,3 " previously, this will remove the keyword PLUTO again. \xe \sxe
