Silhouette Reference Manual

>RELEASE 

The >RELEASE command closes a data communications line.

SYNTAX 

     >RELEASE dsline 

PARAMETERS 

dsline              The name, or number, of the data communication line to be closed.

DISCUSSION 

When the >RELEASE command is issued, Silhouette completes all outstanding
processing on the specified data communication line (DS line) and then
closes it.  This is useful if you have spare lines or synchronous
hardware that is usually used for Silhouette but is required periodically
for some other data communications subsystem.

EXAMPLE 

The following example shows closing a DS line and displaying a STATUS
report indicating no DS lines are open to the secondary system.

     >RELEASE MPEXL950
     Release req. to CP: There are no remaining DS lines available. (RQWARN 9)
