Hi Cliff,

it is hard to help you if you do not post a simple example. I think your 

problem comes because you attack your task in an inapropriate way. There 

should be no need to clear anything.

Assume you have a function evaluate[data_] and the data in dat1,dat2.., 

you would call evaluate[dat1] e.t.c. On the other hand, if you did not 

declare a function, but work with a variable dat, you would copy your 

data into dat: dat=dat1, evaulate dat1,  dat=dat2, evaulate dat2 e.t.c.
