- Hello,
- I have a question concerning Rexx on the VM mainframe (VM/XA btw). In my
- server I accept multiple socket connections through TCP/IP and a lot of
- information about each socket has to be stored. This information is stored
- in a stem. E.g. the connecting node for socket 5 is stored in G.5.NODE .
- Now, when a socket gets closed I would like to release the storage used by
- the sockets information stored in the G. stem. However, as far as I have
- been informed, simply dropping all elements of G. which concerned that
- closed socket won't free the storage they used. Only when the complete
- stem is dropped storage is free'd. Normally this wouldn't really bother me
- but when considering the size of the stored info (can be several Kb/socket)
- free'ing the storage would be quite useful.
- Of course, I could use a different stem for each connection, but how could
- I address that stem without using interpret (which is slow and therefore not
- recommended for this case)?
- Regards,
- Kris Van Hees.
