DROP CLASS Directive |

DROP CLASS class$

Once a class definition is established, it may not be changed; however, it can be deleted using the DROP CLASS directive. This would allow the class to be redefined.

Deletion is only possible if no objects exist for that class. Any attempt to delete a class that has a reference to it will return an Error #50: Class in use or already defined.

The DELETE CLASS and DROP CLASS directives may be used interchangeably for this purpose.
