Not sure how to check rem is ok but the following code clears it all and needs
only 'membase' and 'last_reg' defining and it will work with any pic except 5x
cause the memory is banked but you can handle them seperatly if needed.

        MOVLW   LAST_REG-MEMBASE; LOAD LAST REG WITH 7E
        MOVWF   LAST_REG        ; DO IT
        MOVLW   MEMBASE         ; MOVE ADDRESS OF FIRST RAM LOCATION INTO FSR
        MOVWF   FSR             ; DO IT
CLR_REG CLRF    INDF            ; CLEAR THE REG POINTED TO BY FSR
        INCF    FSR,F           ; INCREMENT THE FSR
        DECFSZ  LAST_REG,F      ; DEC THE CONTENTS OF LAST_REG
        GOTO    CLR_REG         ; IF CONT.'S OF LAST REG IS NOT 0, GOTO CLR_REG
        CLRF    FSR             ; CLEAR THE FSR
