FROM identifier-1

FROM identifier-1 makes the RELEASE statement equivalent to the execution of the following two statements:

MOVE identifier-1 TO record-name-1
RELEASE record-name-1

The MOVE is performed according to the rules for the MOVE statement without the CORRESPONDING phrase.

Identifier-1 and record-name-1 must not refer to the same storage area.

After the RELEASE statement has successfully executed, the information is still available in identifier-1.
