PM48844: DATA MANAGER MEMORY LEAK WHEN USING USER DEFINED FUNCTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Data Manager memory leak when using user defined function.????We
  have found a condition where user defined functions in Data
  Manager appear to not be releasing memory.  This is causing
  large Factbuilds to crash when the UDF is called repeatedly.
  The UDF function does release memory correctly when a specific
  variable is hard coded.  This variable is set in the variables
  section of the UDF properties.  If we hardcode the variable
  value into the function the problem also goes away.????Without
  the memory leak the build maxes out at 160 MB.  With the memory
  leak we hit about 1.65 GB before crashing.
