Reason for allocating memory

 >> Right that's what I meant when the job ends.

I believe that it will be when the Activation Group ends since the AG "owns"
the memory.  If the program runs in the default AG then it will not get
cleaned up until the end of the job.  If you run in a named AG, then you can
reclaim the AG and free up the memory on detecting a terminal error in a
program that is using dynamic memory.

This is perhaps a situation where judicious use of the MONITOR op-code (or
even a PSSR) should be used to allow the program to clean up any memory it
owns as part of writing its last-will-and-testament.
