Clear previously set NEPS Scientific Use File parameters

neps clear [* | _all | parameter [ parameter ... ] ]

Description

The neps clear command is a helper command to the neps : prefix command.
It removes previously recorded parameter preferences (e.g. using neps set) from the Stata session.

The basic syntax is

. neps clear <parameter>

where <parameter> is the name of a parameter (e.g. "version").

Several <parameter> names can be placed in one invocation of neps clear.
If no <parameter> is specified, or "*" or "_all" is specified, all previously recorded parameters will be cleared.

Remarks

Technically, neps clear is no more than a wrapper for neps set with empty double quotes for each parameter's value.

This means that invoking

. neps clear version

has the same effect as executing

. neps set version ""

This command is part of the NEPStools bundle, written to assist with the NEPS dataset files.
