Considerations When Closing Down

If an application is closed down by disabling the window, CloseDown built-in segment method is called only if there is already a COMSTP program in the mix. This is because COMS will not allow LSS to bring up a COMSTP program, and only a COMSTP program can execute CloseDown built-in segment method.

Where the LINCSUPPORT library for an application is used by a NOF program (for Automatic Entries to NOF), you must ensure that the LINCSUPPORT library is delinked by the NOF program when closing down your application. Until the LINCSUPPORT library leaves the mix, you will not be able to sign on to your application again.

If your application, with logging set, is stopped by a Halt/Load initiated by an Operator Display Terminal (ODT) command, any output that has not been written into the current LINCLOG file might be lost. To avoid this, you should close down your application.
