Re: Ooops, how do I release static memory?

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Umm.. never mind.  It works as it's supposed to.

RPG program and forget.  I kept passing my test RPG program
parameters changing the username and system name, but the RPG
program was simply ignoring them.

*blush*
