I have to guess that the OP really wanted something like N.FILE = "CUSTOMER"; GOSUB CHECK.IF.FILE.IS.OPEN IF ERROR.FILE THEN OPEN N.FILE TO F.FILE ELSE do something here END ELSE IS.OPEN = TRUE END
CHECK.IF.FILE.IS.OPEN: some function which checks if N.FILE exists in some rotating pool of FILE(MAXFILES) if so return file variable pointer set in F.FILE else set error flag in ERROR.FILE RETURN Of course the pseudo code above has to be filled in with appropriate site specific code Here we use a subroutine FILE.OPEN whose pool of open files lives in global named common I really think that is what the OP was after -----Original Message----- From: David Wolverton <dwolv...@flash.net> To: 'U2 Users List' <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Mon, Mar 5, 2012 9:51 am Subject: Re: [U2] Hello In that case, where every file is named "FILE" in your programs, but you ant to make sure FILE is opened against CUSTOMER, I would guess you would o this: IF (FILEINFO(FILE, 0) = 0) THEN OPEN 'CUSTOMER' TO FILE ELSE ....
