Closing a report means that the report is suspended, and the accumulated data is written to the output locations defined to the report. Data accumulated by the report before the CLOSE command was issued may not be viewed online after the CLOSE command completes.
If the report option RESTART=Y is specified, the report is restarted automatically after the CLOSE command has been issued.
Reports in an Active, Inactive, or Suspended status may be closed.
To close a started report
Enter the CL command on the selection line preceding the report name on the Started Reports screen.
Depending on the setting of your profile, you may be prompted to confirm the purge request. This is because the CLOSE command writes the data accumulated by the report to the output device, then purges the data accumulated by the report.
Confirm the purge request, if required.
If the report option RESTART=Y is specified in the report definition, the report is restarted, and the status is set to A(ctive).
