You need to save a reference to the window in a variable that does not go 
out of scope, that is a global variable or a local one if the function it is 
declared in is still running when you wish to close the window. Let's ay you 
open the popup in function, call another to do some processing and then wish 
to close the popup:

function getPoupupInfo()
{
  var oPopup = window.open('abc.asp?filename=' + strFileName);
  doSomeProcessing(); //A function to do processing
  oPopup.close();
}
