The statement CLOSE PC FILE is used to close a specific PC
work file. It allows you to explicitly specify in a program that a PC work file
is to be closed.
A work file is also closed automatically when command mode is reached.
The settings in the NTWORK macro apply.
See also the Natural Connection and Entire Connection documentation.

The work-file-number is the number of the PC work file to be closed. This number must correspond to one of the work file numbers for the PC as defined to Natural. |

The following program demonstrates the use of the CLOSE PC
FILE statement.
** Example 'PCCLEX1': CLOSE PC FILE

** NOTE: Example requires that Natural Connection is installed.

When you run the program, a window appears in which you specify the name of the PC file from which the data is to be uploaded. The data is then uploaded from the PC. At the end of each loop, the PC file is closed.
