RDB/VMS Relational Database Operator END_STREAM — VMS RDB_3.1A
Ends a stream.
If you close a record stream, you can use the START_STREAM statement
to establish a new record stream with the same name.
Example:
RDO> END_STREAM EMPLOYEES_STREAM
Additional information available:
Format
ENDSTREAM ─> stream-name ─┬────────>───────┬─>

stream-name Names the stream that you want to close. If
you are using declared streams, this name
must be the same name used in the associated
DECLARE_STREAM statement. If you are using
undeclared streams, this name must be the
same name used in the associated START_STREAM
statement.
on-error Specifies a host language or Rdb/VMS
statement to be performed if an error occurs.
