The statement CLOSE WORK FILE is used to close a specific
work file. It allows you to explicitly specify in a program that a work file is
to be closed.
A work file is closed automatically:
When command mode is reached.
When an end-of-file condition occurs during the execution of a
READ WORK FILE
statement.
Before a DEFINE WORK
FILE statement is executed which assigns another
data set to the
work file number concerned.
CLOSE WORK FILE is ignored for work files for which
CLOSE=FIN is specified in profile parameter
WORK.
