@ Suja.Sai

With the GETMAIN instruction you obtain a contiguous block of virtual storage. So you requests a certain amount of storage space.
With the FREEMAIN command you release this storage.

See also STORAGE OPTAIN/RELEASE instructions in the manuals.

STORAGE OBTAIN/RELEASE -> uses PC(Program Call)
GETMAIN/FREEMAIN -> uses SVC

It was said that a PC instruction would be much more efficient than a SVC interruption.
