close Illustrator app in an action

Question

Hello,I would like to include the close of Illustrator at the end of an action. But I get in German the message:"Das Objekt Beenden ist zurzeit nicht verfügbar" (close command not available) Is it possible at all? And how could I find a solution here?(it's also ok to close manually, of course, but as there is this option, I would like to use it) thank you

@Asterixx Another alternative approach after it closes the file, open a new document, and then stop recording the action and then delete it.
For example:

While creating your action, go ahead and close it
Choose "create a new document"
Locate the action, and stop recording
Select 'New' Action and delete that action.

This ensures the action runs smoothly after closing, completing the process effectively.

*Also you could prepare a new document in advance, so when it closes, there's no need to create one again. Either approach is effective.
