RELEASE
RELEASE deletes memory variables.
Syntax
RELEASE <memvar list> / [ALL[LIKE/EXCEPT <skeleton>]]
Arguments
<memvar list> is a list of memory variables to delete.
<skeleton> is a wildcard mask specifying a group of memory variables to
delete or exclude from deletion.
Usage
RELEASE deletes memory variables in two basic ways. If the scope of
the deletion is a list, then the specified memory variables are deleted
regardless of the memory variable scope unless they are hidden. This
means that PUBLIC and private memory variables declared in higher level
procedures are RELEASEd. If, however, the ALL clause is specified,
then only memory variables defined in the current procedures are
RELEASEd.
Note that a hidden memory variable does not become accessible when the
local copy is RELEASEd but only when the procedure in which it was
declared PRIVATE terminates.
