Comments

Calling L_DicomSendReleaseRequest generates a call to RECEIVERELEASEREQUESTCALLBACK on the server. The server will call L_DicomSendReleaseResponse which will generate a call to RECEIVERELEASERESPONSECALLBACK on the client. At this time the DICOM Association may be closed. For more information, refer to Ending a DICOM Association.

Please note that this method of closing a DICOM Association is preferable to just calling L_DicomSendAbort.
