That's the built-in way:

ALLOC
DEALLOC
REALLOC

This is only good for the default (ILE) heap.

I imagine the RPG compiler folks are the only ones who know for sure, but
I'd bet that it will work if ALCHSS is being used with the default heap
space. On the other hand, I'm fairly sure that using DEALLOC with CRTHS
would get your pee-pee slapped.
