In VFP, you assign a variable as follows:

MyVariable = "TextValue" && or number, or date, etc.

You can explicitly release a variable with the RELEASE command:

release MyVariable

I have never done this: private and local variables are automatically released after you end the program where they are defined.

You can also assign a null value, to indicate that no valid data is available, for instance:

...
if seek(SomeValue)
  ReturnValue = Field1
else
  ReturnValue = NULL
endif
...
