Purpose
Delete memory variables and free the storage that they were occupying
Syntax
RELEASE <memvar> | <memvar list> | ALL [LIKE <skeleton>][EXCEPT <skeleton>]
See Also

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
