Closing OnLine session

I'm attempting to reduce the number of OnLine sessions in a 100-user database application, would like to hear from you on one area which I'm not able to figure out. I have a 4GL program(A) which serves as a main menu. This program(A) has a db connection for performing simple read and will run other database programs as required by users. In an attempt to reduce the concurrent sessions, I tried issuing a CLOSE DATABASE statement in program(A) but this particular session still appear in onstat -g ses output. ?? Anyone has any idea why is that so? Is there any other way to close the session? -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The Maestro | | maestro@post1.com | | Standard Disclaimer | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
