I have two windows open: one Aremos Databank and one workfile, both named akudb. The command closes the workfile regardless of which of them is selected. Can one add further specifications for what should be closed?

This post seems to have been forgotten. Help would be much appreciated.

Did you try:

Yes, that works :-) But that only solves the problem in the case where the program knows what the databank's file name is. So, my question still stands unanswered, can one add further specifications for what should be closed? A negative answered would do just fine. I merely want to know if it is possible. (And if it is, how it would be done.)

I don't understand what you're asking. Yes further specifications can be added to the command - if you give the file type of the file you wish to close, then EViews will close that file rather than a file with another file type.

If you don't know the name of the thing you're trying to close, then EViews is unable to close it.

What I mean is that the databank (or for that matter the workfile) could have been opened with an alias. Ideally, I picture that I would be able to say that I want to close the database with the alias akudb, as opposed to the workfile with the alias akudb.

Workfiles cannot have aliases. If your database has the alias "akudb", then closing that database can be achieved by the command:

Thank you! That answers my question.
