Hiii

i have a code as below

DATA:
      lc_oref         TYPE REF TO cx_root.

LOOP AT ITAB.
  
  
     TRY .
       
       DELETE FROM DATABASE " Try catch if delete from database fail
       
       CATCH cx_sy_open_sql_db INTO lc_oref.
         lv_text_change = lc_oref->get_text( ).
     ENDTRY.  
  
ENDLOOP.

My question is do we need to clear or refresh lc_oref? since this is a local class. how do we do it?

no, you don't need to do it as it is local

even if global, you would not need it as catching exception would overwrite it anyway

but if you needed, you should use CLEAR or FREE.
