It is likely that an application will, at some point, have one or more outstanding asynchronous requests that it no longer wishes to process. You can use the IGNORE ASYNC RESPONSE statement to inform the runtime that the application wishes to ignore the response corresponding to the specified ASYNC_REQUEST.

However, the runtime will continue to keep track of an ignored request, as the resources associated with an ignored request remain allocated as long as the corresponding request of the ignored request remains outstanding. Only when the response is received (that is, the request is complete), can the runtime free the resources associated with the request.

An ignored outstanding request is considered complete.
