CLOSE


Syntax:     CLOSE [ALL/ALTERNATE/DATABASES/FORMAT/INDEX]

Purpose:    To CLOSE specific classes of files.

Options:    All: CLOSEs all alternate, database, and index files in
            all work areas.  Additionally, it releases all active
            filters, relations, and formats.

            Alternate: CLOSEs the currently open alternate file.
            ALTERNATE TO <filename>.  SET ALTERNATE TO with no argument
            also CLOSEs the alternate file.

            Databases: CLOSEs all open database and associated index
            files in all work areas and releases all active filters.  It
            does not, however, have any effect on the active format.

            Format: Releases the current format performing the same
            action as SET FORMAT TO with no argument.

            Indexes: CLOSEs all index files open in the current work
            area.

            CLOSE with no optional argument CLOSEs the current database
            and associated files and is the same as USE with no
            arguments.

Usage:      In Clipper, a number of other commands also CLOSE files
            including:

               .  QUIT
               .  CANCEL
               .  RETURN from the highest level procedure
               .  CLEAR ALL
               .  USE with no argument

            Clipper also closes files from the default runtime error
            functions (with QUIT) and non-recoverable error prompts when
            you answer "N" to the Continue option.
