Close

Closes the file(s) previously opened with the Open statement.

The optional FileNumList parameter can contain one or more valid file associated reference numbers using the following syntax:

[[#]FileNum] [, [#]FileNum] ...

where Filenum is any valid number associated with an open file.

If the Close statement is used without any arguments it closes all open files. When the Close statement is executed, the association of a file with its file number ends.
