Role settings are ignored when using this command.

The Shutdown command syntax uses these parameters:

Parameter

 

Description

ignore_save_changes

If this parameter equals " Y", then the operator will not be prompted to save any data that has not yet been saved.

If this parameter equals anything else, the operator will be prompted if not all entered data has yet been saved.

 

Example:

SHUTDOWN " Y"

Closes the data entry session and exits the Data Entry program. Does not prompt the operator to save any unsaved data.

 

Example:

IF ( YESNO "Do you have more data to enter now?") , GOTO [A1] , SHUTDOWN " Y"

Prompts the operator with an option dialog.

If the user clicks Yes, the template returns to cell [A1].

If the user clicks No, the template closes the data entry session and exits the Data Entry program. It does not prompt the operator to save any unsaved data.
