CLOSE In the last article, we discussed the OPEN command. In this article, we cover the inverse: the CLOSE command. Note that VMS supports various options upon closing a file. UOS handles some of them now, but others will have to wait until we cover the batch and print queue facilities. We handle all of the options in UCL, but the File Processor ignores some of them for now. Here is the user documentation for CLOSE: CLOSE Closes a file previously opened with OPEN.
Format CLOSE symbol{:}
Parameters symbol
Description This command closes an open file. Files opened with the OPEN command remain open until closed with CLOSE. If a command procedure terminates without closing open files, the file remains open.
Qualifiers /DISPOSITION=option
/ERROR=label
/{NO}LOG
Example
Process routine.
Close method of TUOS_File_Wrapper to
take an optional parameter and update the FAB's file operation (FOP) code if the
optional parameter was non-zero. This will pass the flags to the File Processor when
the file is closed.
TUOS_FIP.File_Close method just before the handle is
closed. The point of the code is to obtain the device and filename for optional close
behaviors.
In the next article, we will examine the DELLNM system service.
