Unallocate libref SAS/SHARE

[blaszkam]

Hello,

I allocating libref to remote SAS/SHARE like this:

%let node1=some_address some_port;

options comamid=tcp;

proc operate serverid=node1.sas_share sapw=some_password;

ALLOCATE LIBRARY TEST1 '/some/path';

And now I would like to know how to unallocate library. I know that I can use 'libname name clear' but this only make libref inactive. Like here:

                     NUMBER
LIBREF    STATUS    OF USERS  LIBRARY NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST1     INACTIVE     0      /some/path

I want to remove libref from sas/share memory/unallocate without restart SAS/SHARE (UNIX). How to do that?

In proc operate use the "free" command:

proc operate serverid=node1.sas_share sapw=some_password;

FREE LIBRARY TEST1;
