The .RNEW command compiles and saves procedures and functions in the same manner as .RUN. In addition, all variables in the main program unit, except those in common blocks, are erased. The -T and -L filename switches have the same effect as with .RUN.

Note: .RNEW is an executive command. Executive commands can only be used at the IDL command prompt, not in programs.

Example

Some statements using the .RUN and .RNEW commands are shown below.

Statement	Description

.RNEW -L myfile.lis myfile, yourfile	Erase all variables and compile the files myfile.pro and yourfile.pro. Produce a listing on myfile.lis.
