closes all tables that were
opened with OPEN. If table-id is invalid, the
program halts.
Type: Numeric
Details |
Close all SAS tables as soon as they are no longer needed by an application. You do not need to open and close a SAS table in each program of an application. If an application contains several programs that use the same table, the first program can open the table and can use the parameter passing mechanism with the DISPLAY routine or method calls to make the table identifier value available to other programs.
Example |
Use OPEN to open a SAS table. If the table opens successfully, as indicated by a positive value for the PAYID variable, then use CLOSE to close the PAYROLL table.
payid=open('payroll','u'); ...SCL statements... if (payid>0) then payid=close(payid);
