help for metaxl clear

Title

metaxl clear - removes all metadata from data in memory

Syntax

metaxl clear
, [options]

Options
force removes all metadata without asking confirmation from
the user.

Description

metaxl clear is a Stata command that removes all metadata from data in
memory (labels, value labels, characteristics, etc.). Considering its negative
effects if used by mistake, the command asks the user for confirmation in order
to proceed with the deletion of all the metadata. Specifying option force
changes this behavior.

Examples

Remove all metadata without confirmation by the user.

. metaxl clear, force
