Algorithm (Workflow)

The function FMclose is designed to close a connection to a FileMaker database. It is part of the SG-Library and was introduced in SolidGeometry version 3.5. The function is essentially a wrapper around the close function, providing a specific interface for closing FileMaker database connections.

Input Parameters

conn: This is the connection object to a FileMaker database that needs to be closed. The connection object is typically established using other functions such as FMopen or FMinitJDBC.

Functionality

The function takes a single input parameter, conn, which represents the active connection to a FileMaker database. The primary operation performed by this function is to invoke the close method on the conn object. This action terminates the connection to the database, ensuring that resources are released and the connection is properly closed.

Related Functions

FMhelp: Provides help and documentation for the SG-Library functions.
FMinitJDBC: Initializes a JDBC connection to a FileMaker database.
FMopen: Opens a connection to a FileMaker database.
FMgetFieldTabs: Retrieves field information from a FileMaker database.
FMsqlQuery: Executes SQL queries on a FileMaker database.
