Required Parameter

Window handle

INPUT; BINARY(4)

A handle for the window to be ended.

Omissible Parameter Group

Restore screen

INPUT; CHAR(1)

Indicates if the underlying display image should be restored when the window is ended. This parameter is ignored if the underlying display image was not saved. This option should be used if the screen will be refreshed by another application and does not need to be refreshed when the window is removed. Performance can be improved by not restoring the display image. However, the saved screen may not be restored properly if it is not restored by another application.

The possible values are:

0	Do not restore the screen when the window is ended.
1	Restore the screen, if saved, when the window is ended. This is the default.

Error code

I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.

Returned Value

Return code

OUTPUT; BINARY(4)

A return code indicating the result of the operation. The value returned will be 0 if the operation was successful, or -1 otherwise.
