# FREEGDA - Release GDA in Utility Mode

This Natural profile parameter controls whether current user global data area (GDA) and application-independent variables (AIV) are to be reset or not when a utility is invoked in utility mode (see Utility Activation in the Utilities documentation), that is, by using the direct command that corresponds to the utility's name.

Possible settings | `ON` | The current user GDA and AIV variables are reset before a utility is started. Note This behavior corresponds to the previous situation when the utility was invoked using the system command `LOGON` `library-name`.
`OFF` | The current user GDA and AIV variables are preserved when a utility is started. Note This will increase the data size correspondingly and may lead to thread problems under certain operating systems.
Default setting | `ON` |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |
