BOOTCOLD()
Triggers a cold boot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
BOOTCOLD()
Description
BOOTCOLD() allows you to restart the system after a critical error
(assuming anything is still working), or to allow any program changes
you have made in CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT to take effect. The
function calls for a cold start. This means a RAM check and POST (power
on self test) are carried out.
Notes
. Close all files prior to a boot. You can use CLOSE DATABASES.
. If there is a large system memory, a RAM check takes a long
time. To avoid this lengthy procedure, you might consider using the
BOOTWARM() function for a restart after changing CONFIG.SYS.
Example
An error in an error trap can no longer be changed:
CLOSE DATABASES
BOOTCOLD()
