Syntax


  CL[OSE] data base name
For example:

Parameter

data base name

is the name of a data base opened with the MULTIDB command.

Discussion

The CLOSE command allows you to close a data base opened with the MULTIDB command, without exiting from QUERY. The data base that was opened with DEFINE or DATA-BASE= commands is unaffected and remains open until the end of your job or session.

You may want to close a data base opened with a MULTIDB command for the following reasons:

  1. You have reached the limit of 10 open data bases that QUERY allows.

  2. You want to re-open your data base with the DEFINE or DATA-BASE= command so that it will be the primary data base.

  3. You have exclusive access and/or have finished using the data base and want to allow access to other users.

A data base closed with the CLOSE command will not be listed with subsequent MULTIDB commands. Data items in a closed data base can no longer be accessed. Any data bases not closed with the CLOSE command are automatically closed by QUERY at the end of the job or session.
