OUTPUT CLOSE

The OUTPUT commands (OUTPUT NEW, OUTPUT NAME, OUTPUT ACTIVATE, OUTPUT OPEN, OUTPUT SAVE, OUTPUT CLOSE) provide the ability to programmatically manage one or many output documents.

OUTPUT CLOSE [NAME={name1 name2 ...}]
                    {*   }
                    {ALL }

This command takes effect immediately. It does not read the active dataset or execute pending transformations. See the topic Command Order for more information.
