Too Many Open Files (was Re: The CLOSE command)

[Tony Ryder]

close would close all open files.

If you mean you only want to close open files
within the call or chained processing table
then you would have to use close filename
for each open filename.

|
|lookup fil = file1 k=ky i=a -nx
|lookup fil = file2 k=ky i=a -nx
|lookup fil = file3 k=ky i=a -nx
|close fil
|
|The above code only closes the open files from file3.
