When do I need a GETMAIN?

I'm working on CICS programs I've recently taken over, and can't distinguish when a GETMAIN/FREEMAIN is needed. Any help is appreciated.
 
At the you can find a link to IBM manuals. On that site there are also some CICS cracks and they have probably answered you question some time ago to someone else :)

I am not a CICS programmer, sorry!

The getmain sounds as getting some extra storage and the freemain will probably give it back. I guess you can assign storage to some variables in the linkage section...???

Good Luck!
