Parameters {container}-ID of the array to clear. Switches /always-Specifies whether to clear the array even if it has data on it. The default is FALSE, meaning that the command clears the array only if it has no data on it. All user files must be closed; the /always switch cannot override this restriction. /wait-Specifies whether to clear the array synchronously and not return the command prompt until the clear array task completes.
