Lloyd --
Thanks for jumping in. I noted the discussion thread earlier this week, but we moved offices this week, and I just did not have the time or energy to respond. Anyway, I too would have referred to the table in the Programmers Guide.
I am not sure what you mean by "GT.M version of the device utility", but I will gladly send it to you (Chapter 10 of the Programmers Guide has all the GT.M utility programs so tell me what you are looking for).

However, I just noticed something. According to the GT.M documentation
LENGTH (virtual page length) is a USE parameter only. Some sequential file
"deviceparameters" work with OPEN, some with USE, and some with either OPEN
or USE, etc. Chapter 9 of the GT.M Programmer Manual has a table showing
allowed M commands for each parameter. Since LENGTH is a USE parameter
only, it would go in the USE PARAMETERS field of the DEVICE file entry. For
example, if there are no other USE parameters you could put (LENGTH=80) as
the value for this field. I don't have a recent GT.M version of the device
utility and haven't studied where the USE parameters are applied, but a
simple experiment should tell whether or not this works.

PS Your workaround seems okay. It would be interesting to know, though, if
the problem can be addressed without modifying the code.
