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()
