Well, my understanding that memory allocated via RPG ALLOC opcode or %alloc()
BIF is scoped to an activation group, which would be released when the
application group is destroyed. But since activation groups are scoped to a job,
an application group is destroyed when the job ends.

Subject: When does manually allocated memory get released?
List Experts...
I'm currently using a pointer based array and manually
allocating/reallocating space for the array. This program runs in a named
activation group. If I don't manually deallocate (maybe due to an
uncaught error), does the memory get release when the AG is destroyed or
when the job ends? I'm guessing its when the AG is destroyed, but I'd
like to make sure.
Thanks
