Since all the datatypes used in Informatica procedures are fixed length, there are no memory management issues for Informatica external procedures. For COM procedures, you need to allocate memory only if an [out] parameter from a procedure uses the BSTR datatype. In this case, you need to allocate memory on every call to this procedure. During a session, the Integration Service releases the memory after calling the function.
