Close File

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

This command is used to close both TAS and non-TAS files that have been previously opened using the OPENV (Open File) command.

 

CLOSE file_num Required - The number/handle of the file to be closed.

 

DELIf the file being closed is non-TAS, you can include this option and the program will delete the file from the disk.

 

COMMENTS

If you don't close the files before the program exits, it will be done automatically.

 

NOTE:  If you have fields from the file you are closing on a form and that form is displayed or redisplayed, you will receive an error from TAS that the field belongs to a file that has been closed.  Unless you have a specific reason to do so,  

 

EXAMPLE

CLOSE @bkarcust_hndl // If opened with the OPENV command

CLOSE 'BKARCUST' // If opened with the OPEN command
