If you do not specify a file, FileMaker Pro Advanced stops the currently running script and closes the FileMaker file that the script is running from.
This script step disconnects the specified ODBC data source. This lets you "re-login" to the specified ODBC data source with a different user name and password, without closing the FileMaker file.
•If a user moves the specified file, FileMaker Pro Advanced might not be able to close the file.
•Close File can’t close external data sources that are referenced in the relationships graph.
