Freeing Files

In multi-tasking systems, it is sometimes required that an HDS file is physically updated on disk and freed so that another program can use it. Subroutine DAT_UPDAT may be used to do this. It calls subroutine HDS_FREE for the container file of an object associated with a parameter. If there is no associated object, DAT_UPDAT will just return - no error is reported.
