CLOSEFILE Command

The CLOSEFILE command disables a file so that requests for it fail. By doing this, you make the file unavailable to jobs and users. To make the file available, use the OPENFILE command.

CLOSEFile ddname

ddname

Identifies the file you are closing.

Note:

• Issue the CLOSEFILE command from a console of an operator.
• To place requests for a file in a queue (rather than failing them), use the HOLDFILE command.

Example

To make the DPMFMAP file unavailable, issue this command:

CLOSEFILE DMPFMAP
