Closes a data base opened with the MULTIDB command.

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:
You have reached the limit of 10 open data bases that
QUERY allows.
You want to re-open your data base with the DEFINE or
DATA-BASE= command so that it will be the primary
data base.
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.
