RDB/VMS RMU/ALTER EXIT — VMS RDB_4.2

 The EXIT command terminates the RdbALTER session and returns you
 to  DCL  command  level.   You  can  also press CTRL/Z to end an
 RdbALTER session.

 If EXIT is issued and altered but uncommitted pages  exist,  you
 are  told  to  issue  either  a  COMMIT  or  a ROLLBACK command.
 RdbALTER does not exit until a COMMIT or ROLLBACK operation  has
 accounted for all altered pages.

 The EXIT command performs an implicit NOLOG  command  if  a  LOG
 file is open.
