RESET^DDS: Reset Terminal, Variables, and Remove Temp Data

If during a call to ^DDS you get a hard error, you can DO RESET^DDS to:

• Reset the terminal characteristics.
  
  
• Unlock any locked records.
  
  
• Clean up some variables in the local symbol table.
  
  
• Remove the temporary data ScreenMan stores in ^TMP.

Since RESET^DDS does not clean up all local variables, you should DO P^DI afterwards to clean up any variables that RESET^DDS missed.

You can also use RESET^DDS if you get a hard error while using the Form Editor.
