PROC is sooo last century!
Anything PROC can do, BASIC can to better, faster, less cryptic, easier to
write, easier to maintain, easier to debug, etc, ad nauseum.
How do you know BASIC can't create the file? Did you try it? Post the code
you tried and I will show you the error of your ways ;-)
What jBASE version are you on? If it's 3.4 then you need 'openseq_creates =
true' in your 'Config_EMULATE' file. If it's 4.1 (or 5.x) then this code
should work:
OPENSEQ filepath TO outstream ELSE
CREATE outstream ELSE NULL
END
