So it's impossible to read in a data area and then release it

Not at all. If you looked at the responses to this question from two
weeks ago you would see that at least two people provided good
explanations of how Data Area Data Structures work and explained how
to avoid the problem you are experiencing.
But then you couldn't be bothered to refer to an InfoCentre reference
I provided in a previous response so I guess you're unlikely to
search for the answer in previous responses either. The RPG Reference
also supplies this information but that's obviously beyond the pale.
Thanks fur nuttin'. Your reply just clutters the list and adds
useless entries to the archives. Although I enjoy your
contributions also. Spices up things a bit. But are you really that
grumpy?
That wasn't a grumpy response--simply pointing out that if you paid
attention to what occurs on the list you would have learned about UDS
behaviour two weeks ago and would not have needed to ask. You would
already have the answer to your question and YOU wouldn't be
cluttering the list with questions that have ALREADY been dealt with.
And if you'd looked in the archives you would have found your answer.
Perhaps you are one of those list members who doesn't bother reading
anything that:
a) isn't an answer to a question you asked
or
b) isn't a subject that has immediate significance for you
or perhaps you have a memory like a sieve and forget things more than
a few moments old in which case how will you ever learn anything if
you only concern yourself with what's important right this instant?

Simon Coulter.
