CALL SEND (extfile-object-id, '_remove');

Details

The _remove method deassigns the libref associated with library-object-id and clears the Library object, setting all instance variables to blank or 0. If the deassign step fails, you will get a program halt.

Using _remove produces the same result as using _assign with a blank libref.
