348.0. "The STR library" by EAGLE1::DANTOWITZ (David .. DTN: 226-6957) Thu Oct 30 1986 11:19

	Does the following sequence of calls cause a problem
	with the heap?


        "Initialize DESCR to a null dynamic descriptor"

	STR$COPY_DX (%ASCID'12345', DESCR);  ! 5 characters

	STR$COPY_DX (%ASCID'321', DESCR);    ! 3 characters

	STR$FREE1_DX (DESCR);                ! return the memory


	In the FREE1_DX call DESCR has a length of 3, is there
	any problem with this or is it taken care of by the
	STR library?

	David

	The parameters to STR$COPY_DX are reversed. That corrected, the answer to your question is "There's no problem".
