Yes, I see your point. I wonder if the integer gets treated like a
string in the first instance. I wonder what the result with FILEVARS<1>
would be.
"Illegal assignment".
You can't store a file descriptor in a dynamic array, because it's not a
character string (it MIGHT be implemented as such, but it doesn't make
sense to treat it as such, so it's a logical stupidity. I don't know of
any MV implementation that permits this).

I think it's something along those lines, but I don't think it's trying
to stick the entire contents of the file into a variable. What I think
OPENSEQ is doing is keeping track of the position where the EOF mark is
so it will know when the end of the file is reached. For a file
greater
than 2GB in size, this position is an integer that takes more than 32
bits to store. UV, being a 32-bit application, is not going to be able
to handle it. The maximum positive integer value a 32-bit application
can reference is 2147483647.
The problem is, FV.FILE and FILEVARS(1) are *allegedly* *functionally*
*identical*. An element of a dimensioned array, is supposed to be a
normal variable in every way shape or form.
The problem is that, in this instance, it clearly isn't because the
variable works while the element (allegedly identical) causes a crash.
I'd agree with Perry. It's a bug.
