The Reference manual tells us that the ADDRESS command, using the WITH
... STREAM option
causes lines to be read or written from or to a STREAM object. It does not say
if the
stream is opened and closed by the ADDRESS command, but the statement that
| If REPLACE is specified with STREAM, stream is truncated to zero length
before any
| output lines are written. REPLACE is the default.
seems to imply that it does, since REPLACE and APPEND are options of the OPEN
method, and
they can be specified in the ADDRESS command; on the other hand,
| If APPEND is specified with STREAM, output lines are appended to stream.
seems to imply that the stream is already open when ADDRESS is executed.
Does one merely create the STREAM object, then invoke ADDRESS? or is
one required to also
open and close it as well?
