FREERIN
FREERIN
Releases a global resource identification number (RIN).
Syntax
FREERIN rin
Parameters
rin The resource identification number (RIN) to be released. It must be a
number from one to the configured maximum.
Operation Notes
A resource identification number is used to manage a resource shared by two or more jobs
or sessions so that only one job or session at a time can access that resource.
The user acquires a RIN from the system by entering the GETRIN command. When all
users are finished with the RIN, the user who acquired it returns it to the system by
entering the FREERIN command. To free a RIN, you must be the original owner of that
RIN, that is, the user who actually issued the GETRIN command that allocated the RIN
and assigned it a password.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, or program. It may not be used in
BREAK. Pressing
Break has no effect on this command.
Example
To release RIN 1, enter:
FREERIN 1
