The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Thank you Barbara. That is the exact answer I was looking for. I'll be calling the program one last time to set on LR and execute the dealloc to free the dynamic storage, since it is an interactive job.
Is there an easy way "see" the heap storage currently in use for the activation group (in my example, the default activation group)?

The RCLRSC caused the RPG program to be reinitialized on its next call, which caused the pointers to be set to null. But the heap storage was not released.
This situation, where you lose the ability to free the storage, is known as a "memory leak". Nothing has a pointer to the storage so it can't be used, but it remains allocated until the job ends.
