Purpose

Delete memory variables and free the storage that they were occupying


Syntax

RELEASE <memvar> | <memvar list> | ALL [LIKE <skeleton>][EXCEPT <skeleton>]


See Also

CLEAR MEMORY, PRIVATE, PUBLIC, RESTORE, RETURN, SAVE, STORE, UNSET()


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
