-reshape clear- does precisely this. See the manual entry.

I had a data set that was a subset of another data set. The subset had  
stuff lying around in _char list_ from a prior reshape, and those  
interfered with a subsequent reshape. Is there an option to reshape,  
that says "ignore what is in char list"? Should there be? How does one  
clear the characteristics that have been left behind by reshape?
