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= command 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.
