Hi again,
I have the following type
MyType

  field A.TypeA
  field B.TypeB

end type

global AnInstance MyType
.
.
.

When I want to delete the AnInstance variable do I have to delete manually the A and B or not?
Function MyTypeDelete(v.MyType)

  delete v

end function

or
Function MyTypeDelete(v.MyType)

  delete v\A
  delete v\B
  delete v

end function


thanks

"Delete v" will not delete v\A.
v\A is not inside v, it is just a pointer. The instance that v\A points to still exists in the TypeA list.

It's like: if you do "v\A=Null" it won't delete v\A.

Yip, use option 2.
