Re: Attribute BASED and LINKAGE SECTION

I can only imagine that the based item would be assigned to the new storage,
and the old storage would be orphaned unless pointed to by another based
item or a data pointer. I just can't imagine that the data should be
automatically freed (unless one traces through every other data item to make
sure its not being referred to elsewhere). I just don't see any useful
middle ground between totally manual (programmatic) de-allocation and pretty
much full-blown garbage collection.

Which still does not answer the question of whether
the memory acquired by an ALLOCATE for a
BASED LINKAGE/LOCAL item is automatically reaped.
(Taking into account possibly STICKY-LINKAGE).

And what (should) happen(s) when a BASED item is
subject to more than one ALLOCATE without an intervening FREE ?
