Releasing a Remote Environment 

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 XL system, and if the QUIET
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.)
