using DESTROY statement

I heard that that the DESTROY statement in Powerbuilder 8.0 is
obsolete.

If you create a datastore/or nvo locally, the garbage collection will
automatically handle it. Is this correct?

I'm using PB 8.0 with an XP machine, 256mg, 40 gig HD.

Thanks

Right, and the checks in the mail and I won't ........, well you already
know that one. It probably will eventually be cleaned up but why wait, you
should always destroy what you create.

That is partially correct.
DESTROY is NOT obsolete.
Locally created classes WILL be garbage collected when they go out of scope.
