Close a report

Ken Mayer writes in its "The dBase Plus Tutorial", Phase V, page 4,
how 
one can close the current form in an applicaton.
How can I do the same in a report?
A report does not have onGotFocus and none onLostFocus Event.
Thanks for your response.

Kurt,

Instead of FORM.close( ) you can use REPORT.release( ). However, be sure 
you are doing that at a time when you really want to get rid of the 
report (for instance, in a pushbutton or when a form closes). If you do 
REPORT.render( ) and then REPORT.release( ), your report will be gone in 
the blink of an eye. <g>

Thanks for your answer.
I went another way. I used Streamframe1_onRender for:
if type("_app.framewin") # "U"
          _app.framewin.currentForm = this.parent.parent
       endif

and form_close for:
if type("_app.framewin.currentForm") # "U"
       	_app.framewin.currentForm := null
       endif
    return NEUREPORT::close()

It seems that works well.

Kurt,

Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but I don't see how that closes a 
report for you. All you are doing is creating a reference to a report in 
_app.frameWin and then deleting the _reference_, nothing related to the 
report.

My English knowledge is small. Therefore I wrote only the most 
necessary. Excuse me!
The command to close the report comes from a menu item:

function M_AKTFORMSCHLIESEN_onClick
       // Schliessen des aktuellen Formulars, sofern vorhanden
       if type( "_app.framewin.currentForm" ) # "U" and ;
          type( "_app.framewin.currentForm" ) # "NULL" //==
"O"
          _app.framewin.currentForm.close()
       else
          msgBox("Das im Moment geöffnete Formular kann auf desem Weg
nicht;
          geschlossen werden", "Geht nicht", 64)
       endif
    return
