Comments • Closing Channels: To close:
– a single channel, use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn);
– multiple channels, use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn,ccnn);
– sequential channels, use [ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn);
– a group of sequential channels, use
[ROUTe:]CLOSe (@ccnn:ccnn,ccnn:ccnn);
– or any combination.
Closure order for multiple channels with a single command is not
guaranteed.
