/RELEASE

   Invokes SDA to release those blocks in the specified system
   paging file occupied by a crash dump.
   
   Requires CMKRNL (change-mode-to-kernel) privilege.

   Format:

     /CRASH_DUMP/RELEASE  filespec

   Use the /RELEASE qualifier to release from the system paging file
   those blocks occupied by a crash dump. Be aware that when you use 
   the /RELEASE qualifier, SDA immediately deletes the dump from the
   paging file and allows you no opportunity to analyze its contents.

   When you specify the /RELEASE qualifier in the ANALYZE 
   command, include the name of the system paging file
   (SYS$SYSTEM:PAGEFILE.SYS) as the filespec.

   If you do not specify the system paging file or the specified
   paging file does not contain a dump, SDA displays one of the 
   following messages:

   %SDA-E-BLKSNRLSD, no dump blocks in page file to release,
                     or no page file
   %SDA-E-NOTPAGFIL, specified file is not the page file
