Release

Memory required for procedure file loading is allocated immediately preceding execution, and deallocated after program completion. In the case where a file is loaded but no external file is executed (for example, after examination with the Debugger), it may be necessary to deallocate the space it occupies. This command deallocates any memory allocated as a result of procedure file loading since the last execution of an external command.

COPY is loaded but not executed. Therefore the memory is blocked for loading STATUS. The RELEASE command frees the memory.
