free is the opposite to prepare, a statement stays prepared until free is
called.
This will release all associated resources. In my Informix manual it sais,
that 
it will not affect an already declared cursor on this statement.

exec sql prepare d_id from :stmt;
....
exec sql free d_id; 

	> exec sql alloc

All I find for this is:
exec sql allocate descriptor :descname [with max :colmax];
allocates memory for a system descriptor area  (sqlca) for a maximum of
	colmax columns (default 100) for use with a describe statement.

Oh, that's easy. :-) I already have it with the standard syntax 'exec sql
deallocate prepare'.

Guess this has to wait some more.
