There is a question on comp.lang.fortran related to unix file append (redirection), and the Fortran REWIND statement.
If one, for example does: someprogram >> somefile to append to the file, and the program does a rewind on the file, it will rewind to the beginning, not to the point where the append started. It occured to me that MVS (predecessors and successors), with DISP=MOD will position to the end, but that a REWIND will go to the beginning, not to the point where the append started, just like unix. Just to be sure, is that what DISP=MOD and REWIND do? Are (or were) there any systems that didn't do this? -- glen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
