Has anyone noticed that there is no way of totally freeing up memory after instantiating a class then removing it? I have a system which receives data over a telephone network. In a "good" day I may receive over 10000 events. In the 'old' days (FP2.x) I would use numerous memvars and save events to files. Now I instantiate an object and populate properties of the object before storing interpreted results. Problem is every time I CREATEOBJECT() or AddObject() I loose memory according to SYS(1016). Soon my app slows to a crawl. I am, BTW removing the object RemoveObject() or releasing the reference to it.

The only way I have been able to get around this is to create the needed objects at the outset of the app and simply reuse them every time I get a new message.

Is this correct? Even from the command window if you CREATEOBJECT() and then release the reference, you can see memory creeping away. The only way to get it back is with a CLEAR ALL.

Any thoughts?
