    In short :
    -"INIT" initialises all fields EXCEPT primary key-fields of a record.
    -"RESET" resets all the filters on a record and sets the SETCURRENTKEY to the primary key
    -"CLEAR" is a combination of RESET" + "INIT" + it also initialises the primary key

    If you initialise a record, it is better to use CLEAR. Use only INIT of you are sure you want to keep the primary-key-fields.

    Isn't it also that CLEAR goes back to the database to get a fresh (updated) recordset?

    FYI,
    there is also the CLEARALL statement ... to clear all internal variables, keys, and filters in the object and in any associated objects that contain C/AL code.

    No, that is SELECTLATESTVERSION.

    Yes, but I am don't think it deletes records in a temptable in that object.
