So file open functions have to be done locally and not kept in common (as common may change from browser call to browser call) and file-variables cannot be saved to disk.

Somewhere there's a universe technical bulletin that describes a method for this. you use a named common which contains 2 arrays, one for file names, and one for file pointers. When you want to open a file, you LOCATE into the name array and use the associated file pointer if found. If not, you open the file and add the name and pointer to the array. > On Mar 5, 2012, at 12:57 PM, Wjhonson wrote: > >> 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<[email protected]> >> To: 'U2 Users List'<[email protected]> >> 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 >> .... >> END >> ND ELSE >> IF FILEINFO(FILE,17) # "CUSTOMER" THEN >> CLOSE FILE >> OPEN 'CUSTOMER' TO FILE ELSE >> .... >> END >> END >> ND >> >> David W. >> >> ----Original Message----- >> rom: [email protected] >> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wjhonson >> ent: Monday, March 05, 2012 11:06 AM >> o: [email protected] >> ubject: Re: [U2] Hello >> >> don't think this will work. >> n your example John, you need to know the file variable assigned to >> the ile. >> o >> F (FILEINFO(CUSTOMER,0)=0) THEN >> OPEN "CUSTOMER" TO CUSTOMER ELSE... >> But you can't use FILEINFO to check "CUSTOMER", only to check CUSTOMER. >> o you can't tell if a file is opened already and to what file variable. >> ou can only tell if a certain file variable is opened. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> rom: Israel, John R.<[email protected]> >> o: 'U2 Users List'<[email protected]> >> ent: Mon, Mar 5, 2012 7:56 am >> ubject: Re: [U2] Hello >> >> assume you have some way of knowing what files you want. >> o something like: >> F (FILEINFO(yourfilename, 0) = 0) THEN PEN yourfilename ... >> D >> ohn >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> --- >> ----Original Message----- >> om: [email protected] >> mailto:[email protected]] >> Behalf Of Dave Laansma >> nt: Monday, March 05, 2012 10:38 AM >> : U2 Users List >> bject: Re: [U2] Hello >> kay, I've got a pretty simple question ... >> ow do I get a list of all files that are currently OPEN so I know >> whether I >> ed to open a given file again? >> incerely, >> vid Laansma >> Manager >> bbard Supply Co. >> rect: 810-342-7143 >> fice: 810-234-8681 >> x: 810-234-6142 >> w.hubbardsupply.com >> elivering Products, Services and Innovative Solutions" _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ----- No virus found in this message.
