The StoredProc simply has the following statement to return the result
set....
Exec SQL
Set result sets array :Customer for :ResultsCount rows;

There isn't anything to close.

Re: Memory being reused by %alloc on second call to program.






You must be pretty luck. I'm surprise you did not get junk data on the
first run, which makes me wonder if the problem could be caused by other
thing. Could the problem be caused by the StoredProc did not close and
reopen the sql statement on the second call?

I have written my first external stored procedure and it uses dynamic
memory allocation to create a couple of 2D arrays. The problem that I'm
seeing is this...

ProgramA using CLI calls StoredProc. StoredProc
%alloc/%realloc/%dealloc
and uses a regular static array for returning a result set.

ProgramA is two screens. First screen has fields to search by. If I
enter criteria and hit enter ProgramA then calls StoredProc. ProgramA
then processes the ResultSet and puts it into a subfile for viewing. If
I
F12 back to the first screen and change my search criteria to something
that shouldn't return results it still does but refined by whatever I
just
searched by. If I F3 out of ProgramA then all the memory used by the
StoredProc is released even if I don't do a RCLACTGRP of ProgramA's
activation group. If I search a second time after doing the full exit
by
the criteria that should not return results then it works and returns no
results. (no results could also be a search that is too generic to have
good results, this is handled by the StoredProc).

In the StoredProc I am doing the following Destroy call, the
DestroyArray() procedure just take a pointer to an array memory address
and does a dealloc(n) pWholeArray;

pArrayElem = *null;
DestroyArray(pWholeArray);
pWholeArray = *null;

I nulled the pointers for good measure but that didn't do anything.

It looks like the second call is doing an %alloc and starting at the
same
memory address as the previous call had done. So when I %alloc a block
the memory already contains the data from the previous call. How do I
handle this?
