Syntax[edit | edit source]

DEF DISPOSEH(handle&)

Description[edit | edit source]

If handle& represents a valid handle to a relocatable memory block, this statement disposes of the block, and sets the value of handle& to zero (handle& must be a long-integer variable or a HANDLE variable).

If handle& does not represent a valid handle, the statement sets the value of handle& to zero, but otherwise does nothing.
