Memory Allocation

Use malloc() and free() to allocate and deallocate memory within a C function. Before returning to Progress, deallocate all memory that you allocate in the function.

CAUTION: If you allocate too much memory in an HLC function and leave it allocated after returning to Progress, your Progress application might not have enough memory for its own needs. If Progress runs out of memory at any point in the 4GL application, it aborts and returns to the operating system with an error.
