Deallocates a program or procedure previously loaded into memory with the ALLOCATE command.

Syntax

DEALLOCATE [ PROGRAM | PROCEDURE ] ,name

Parameters

PROGRAM

The program file indicated by name is deallocated. Default.

PROCEDURE

The code segment containing the procedure specified by name in SL.PUB.SYS is deallocated.

name

The name of the program file or procedure to be deallocated.

Operation Notes

DEALLOCATE immediately releases table entries belonging to a program file or procedure that has been allocated. If the program is currently executing, the command takes effect once the program or procedure is no longer in use.

You may use a comma (,), a semicolon (;), and an equal sign (=) as delimiters.

NOTE: NM and CM loader error messages are reported differently, allowing you to determine the system in which the error occurred.

NM Loader Error: ErrMessage (LDERR nnnn)

CM Loader Error: ErrMessage (LOAD ERR nnnn)

Use

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break has no effect on this command. Any program for which a user has EXECUTE access can be deallocated. A user with system supervisor (OP) capability can deallocate any program.

Example

To deallocate a program file named PROGEX, enter:

 DEALLOCATE PROGEX

DEALLOCATE does not give back memory; it gives back table entries.
