Disassociate Procedure
The predefined procedure disassociate removes the logical-physical file
association that was previously created with the standard procedure
associate. As a result, you can no longer use the file f with Pascal
input and output routines.
Syntax
disassociate (f)
Parameters
f A variable of type file.
Normally, a file is closed on exit from the block in which it is
declared. A disassociated file, however, remains open until it is closed
with a direct call to an operating system routine.
Disassociate is useful on a file that is opened by a non-Pascal routine
that is passed to a Pascal routine and must remain open on exit from the
Pascal routine.
