Closing Cross-Memory Tasks (CLOSE)

The CLOSE command closes the VTAM ACB and users are immediately terminated. Logons are not accepted until an OPEN command is issued, reopening the VTAM ACB. CLOSE overrides the VTAMPASS parameter in that users attempting to sign on are not passed to another cross-memory task. The command is:

F SARXMS,CLOSE {ALL|SARVTAM|RMOVTAM|INBVTAM|VTAM}

You can CLOSE ALL, SARVTAM, RMOVTAM, INBVTAM, VTAM (all VTAMs), or XMS tasks.
