I have the following datatype:

03 tabelle.
05 occurs 9.
07 occurs 9.
10 elem.
12 elem-a pic 9.
12 elem-b pic 9.

How can I reset the datatype, so that no value is set?

What do you mean by "no value". This is space in the computer
memory. Whatever happens to be in memory is a "value", whether or
not if it is a valid value.

One thing I sometimes do in a program with such a table (especially if
some of the variables are packed or binary), is to create an
initialization table. If I need to reinitialize the table, I just
MOVE ZERO-TABLE to TABELLE.
