The EXIT command writes all changes made in the current GDE editing session to the Global Directory and terminates the current editing session.

The format of the EXIT command is:

    E[XIT]
    

GDE performs a full verification test (VERIFY) on the data. If the verification succeeds, GDE writes the new Global Directory to disk and issues a verification message.

If the verification fails, GDE displays a listing of all unverifiable mappings and waits for corrections. Make appropriate corrections, or leave the Global Directory in its original, unedited state by using the QUIT command.

If you have not made any changes to the Global Directory, GDE does not save a new Global Directory.
