I must be missing something - how is a memory leak = allocated memory which
is not freed?
And AG memory may be freed using RCLACTGRP or the relevant CEE API - or use
AG *NEW to have it happen automatically?

Steve,
I understand you like the MS Kool-Aid a lot but I don't understand the
memory leaks
comment. Are you saying RPG is inferior to other languages in that regard
because you
have to go out of your way to make them happen?
I think activation groups hide what are in fact memory leaks (
allocated memory which is not freed ). But then a lot of RPG code
does not use %alloc and pointers. The managed code feature of C#
makes the .NET framework and collection classes possible. The suite
of collection classes you see in Java and C# are not available in RPG.
that is because of the lack of a garbage collector.
