I'm having an issue with REXX EXECs (interpreted, not compiled) that seem to

else experienced this?
(my apologies for the long post -- but wanted to provide some details to
reduce some questions that may be asked)
A simple example to demonstrate the issue:
/* REXX EXEC */
DO i=1 to 100000
bb.i=COPIES("P",1000)
END
EXIT
While running this, the "used" storage increases as each of the stem variables
gets populated with a string of 1000 "P" characters. But when the REXX
program terminates, the storage (GETMAIN'd) during this process does not get
freed.
Can you provide more details of how you're running that exec? If run via
the exec command then the normal task termination should clean up all the
storage.
