Summary

The CLOSEEDIT_ procedure closes a specified file that was opened by the

OPENEDIT or OPENEDIT_ procedure. The procedure writes to disk any file updates

that are still buffered, optionally closes the file through the file system, and finally

deallocates all data blocks in the EDIT file segment (EFS) that are associated with the

file.

CLOSEEDIT_ is an IOEdit procedure and can be used only with files that have been

opened by OPENEDIT or OPENEDIT_.
