RELEASE
Class
Memory Variables
Purpose
Delete memory variables and free the storage that they were occupying
Syntax

Description
The RELEASE command deletes memory variables, and releases the storage that they were occupying. Recital will automatically release PRIVATE memory variables when a PROCEDURE or PROGRAM returns. You cannot release memory variables belonging to other procedures. If you RELEASE ALL from the '>' prompt, then all memory variables will be deleted. If you RELEASE ALL from a PROCEDURE, then only those memory variables that are PRIVATE to the PROCEDURE will be deleted. The <skeleton> takes the usual conventions of '?' matching any single character, and '*' matching zero or more characters.
Example
release i,j,k release all like code_* release all except c?de_* release all
Products
Recital Database Server, Recital Mirage Server, Recital Terminal Developer
