In addition to deleting lists when you've finished with them, be sure to
terminate any classes that you instantiated too. Invoke your application with
the AUTOTERM=VERBOSE option to be warned of any classes you've forgotten:

==> AFA C=lib.cat.prog.scl AUTOTERM=VERBOSE
...
NOTE: Object 31 still persists at task termination time.
(  _CLASS_=25
   DESC='SAS Generic File Class'
 )[31]
NOTE: Object 31 being terminated automatically.
