Deleting a hiperspace

When a program doesn't need the hiperspace any more, it can delete it. Your program can delete only the hiperspaces it owns, providing the program's PSW key matches the storage key of the hiperspace.

Example of Deleting a Hiperspace™: The following example shows you how to delete a hiperspace:

         DSPSERV DELETE,STOKEN=HSSTKN       DELETE THE HS
         .
HSSTKN   DS   CL8                           HIPERSPACE STOKEN

IBM® recommends that you explicitly delete a hiperspace before the owning task terminates to free resources as soon as they are no longer needed, and to avoid excess processing at termination time. However, if you do not delete the hiperspace, the system automatically does it for you.
