The method that you use to release a remote environment depends upon the way it was initially created:

  1. If the environment was defined by a DSLINE command, it can be released only by a corresponding DSLINE;CLOSE command.

  2. If the environment was defined in a REMOTE HELLO command, it can be released by either a REMOTE BYE command or a DSLINE;CLOSE command.

  3. If you terminate the local session (with a local BYE or ABORTJOB) without explicitly releasing the remote environment, (a) all open files and active processes on the remote node will be closed or terminated, and (b) an implicit DSLINE @.@.@;CLOSE will be executed. (You will not be asked whether you wish to abort the remote session.)

If you issue a DSLINE;CLOSE command (without a REMOTE BYE) after a session has been established on a remote MPE/iX system, and if the option is not in effect, you will be asked:

         ABORT REMOTE SESSION ON envID?

A Y[ES] response will abort the remote session and terminate the connection. A N[O] answer will cancel the DSLINE ;CLOSE command and leave the remote session intact. DSLINE ;CLOSE may not be issued while remote files are open or while dependent RPM processes exist on the remote node. The appropriate FCLOSE, TERMINATE, or RPMKILL intrinsic must be executed first or an error message will appear. For information on Remote File Access, and Remote Process Management, see the corresponding chapters of this manual.

NOTE: A REMOTE BYE command may be viewed as a particular instance of a command to a remote system. You can issue a remote command through the Virtual Terminal service once a remote session has been established via a REMOTE HELLO. (See the explanation of the REMOTE command in this chapter.)
