Closes the default output destination or the output stream you name with the STREAM keyword in a prior
OUTPUT TO statement.
Specifies the name of a stream. If you do not name a stream, the AVM uses the unnamed stream. See the
DEFINE STREAM statement reference entry and the chapter on alternate I/O sources in
OpenEdge Development: Programming Interfaces for more information on streams.
Specifies the handle to a stream. If handle it is not a valid handle to a stream, the AVM generates a run-time error. Note that stream handles are not valid for the unnamed streams. See the chapter on alternate I/O sources in OpenEdge Development: Programming Interfaces for more information on streams and stream handles.
This procedure sends Customer data to a file by using the OUTPUT TO statement. All statements that normally send output to the terminal send output to the file named cust.dat. After all Customer data is written to the file, the OUTPUT CLOSE statement resets the output destination, usually the terminal. The final DISPLAY statement displays "Finished" on the terminal.
