Dennis,
There are already routines within uniVerse to do this. See my notes:
http://u2blog.org/2007/11/05/appprogs-open-tools/ for more details.
Cheers,

Subject: [U2] COMMON
Hi
I have a subroutine that WRITESEQ to a record in a type 1 file called
INTEGRITY.
Is there anyway I can open the file once (in the subroutine) and thereafter
use the same file handle (to avoid opening the file each time the subroutine
is called) ?
All the code on this site opens the file in the calling routine and passes
the handle to the subroutine.
I want to rather make the subroutine a stand-alone, not requiring more than
the subroutine call added to the calling programs.
I have a suspicion I can use named common - if so, does this have to be
declared in the calling routine (which would negate my purpose!).
Any advice?
