#FREESTG—requests that the system release variable storage

The #FREESTG statement requests that the system release all or a part of a block of variable storage. The storage to be released may have been acquired with a #GETSTG request in the issuing task or by another task running on the same terminal as the issuing task. A partial release is valid only for user storage; shared storage must be freed in its entirety.

The #FREESTG request is unconditional; any runtime error will result in an abend of the issuing task.
