LOGOUT logs out the current user and sets up a new log-in dialog.

Syntax

LOGOUT

Description

LOGOUT logs out the current user from the current session and sets up a new log-in dialog when used with PROTECT. The LOGOUT command enables you to control user sign-in and sign-out procedures. The command forces a logout and prompts for a login.

When the command is processed, a log-in dialog appears. The user can enter a group name, log-in name, and password. The PROTECT command establishes log-in verification functions and sets the user access level.

LOGOUT closes all open tables, their associated files, and program files.

If PROTECT has not been used, and no DBSYSTEM.DB file exists, the LOGOUT command is ignored.
