CLOSE DOCUMENT

CLOSE DOCUMENT (docRef)

CLOSE DOCUMENT closes the document specified by docRef.

Closing a document is the only way to ensure that the data written to a file is saved. You must close all the documents you open with the commands Open document, Create document or Append document.

The following example lets the user create a new document, writes the string "Hello" into it, and closes the document:

   C_TIME(vhDocRef) 
   vhDocRef:=Create document ("")
   If (OK=1) 
      SEND PACKET(vhDocRef; "Hello")  ` Write one word into the document 
      CLOSE DOCUMENT(vhDocRef)  ` Close the document 
   End if

Append document, Create document, Open document.
