# Reset job arguments

This operation resets all 20 argument slots (`Arg1`–`Arg20`) to empty, ensuring no stale values leak between calls on a reused `clsRequestAppworxJob` instance.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Operation ID** | OP-APX-002 |
| **Trigger** | Called from the constructor `New(inDPI)`, and from the shared `SubmitBatchJob` overload before populating arguments. |
| **Inputs** | None |
| **Outputs** | `Arg1`–`Arg20` reset to empty (no database interaction) |
| **Primary components** | `clsRequestAppworxJob.InitArgs` |
| **Entry point** | `SAIF.Services.Appworx\clsRequestAppworxJob.vb` |

## Steps

1. Sets each of `m_Arg1`–`m_Arg20` (`clsSmartString` instances) to empty via `SetEmpty()`. No SQL or table interaction is performed.
2. Returns; the instance's argument slots are now guaranteed empty and ready for reuse.

## Failure and edge-case behavior

- None identified; this operation has no branching or failure path.
