Is there any way to free labeled common in AREV…other than exiting to DOS?

We would like to release descriptors created by labeled common in AREV 2.12 – i.e., find an equivalent to the BASIC+ FREECOMMON statement for the AREV environment.

We are trying to share dictionarys between AREV and OI that reference a bunch of common variables. Since OI only uses labeled common, we'd like to use labeled common for both environments, but be able to free the labeled common as needed in AREV, where memory & descriptors are so precious.

There are other ways around this problem…but a simple routine or system call that releases labeled common would be the simplest solution.

Thanks for any input.

I don't believe there is one (of course me saying that will bring one out if there is one )

We have always just NULLed them .. leaving the handle around

That's what I figured. I was hoping there was a system routine or undocumented assembler call that would release descriptors and work on labeled common variables.

I doubt it exists…but I would love to be proven wrong.
