  ****************************************************************
  DBRC API does not free the DSPESTAE storage and every STARTDBRC
  command is being executed will allocate new DSPESTAE storage
  block. This leads to a memory leakage.
  
  As for the solution to this problem, we need to free the
  DSPESTAE storage when STOPDBRC command gets called.
