Terminates access to the dictionary.

Syntax 

     SDClose (Dcb,Status)

Parameters 

Dcb                 Required input; type = DcbType 
                    This parameter passes information about the
                    dictionary to this intrinsic.  It is initialized by
                    the SDOpen intrinsic.

Status              Output; type = StatusType 
                    This parameter contains information indicating the
                    success or failure of the intrinsic call.  This
                    information is detailed in Table 3-1.

Discussion 

This intrinsic will restructure the dictionary if it is closed from the
Exclusive Customization mode, and if any changes have been made to the
dictionary.

This intrinsic releases any existing locks placed on the dictionary by
the current session while closing it.

The following restrictions apply when using this intrinsic:

   1.  If closing the dictionary from the Exclusive Customization mode,
       and if attributes have been modified, the maximum total size of
       all the attribute list's data values (not including special
       attributes) is 2048 bytes.

   2.  The dictionary database must have sufficient capacity to
       restructure the dictionary if closing from the Exclusive 
       Customization mode.
