The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Unless you are talking about a very long-running server program, like
a service that listens on a socket or a data queue, and is essentially a
"never ending" job, there is really no point to ever doing a DEALLOC.
This just adds unnecessary overhead. The ILE heaps perform much faster
if all you ever do is ALLOC, because internally it just advances the
pointer into the free space, and does not have to worry about "holes".
So, for most jobs, it is far more efficient to just wait until
end-of-job and let the system take care of "throwing away" the entire
heap, rather than incurring all of the overhead to issue DEALLOCate each
chunk of storage you ALLOCated.
