Close an NDB

When an NCL process has completed use of an NDB, use the &NDBCLOSE verb to sign off (disconnect) the NCL process from the NDB:

&NDBCLOSE dbname

The &NDBCLOSE verb disconnects the NCL process from the nominated NDB, if it is connected (signed on).

All storage associated with the process is freed. This includes storage for defined formats (&NDBFMT), sequences (&NDBSEQ), and scan result lists (&NDBSCAN).

&NDBCLOSE is analogous to the &FILE CLOSE verb.
