Very true. And unless you REALLY WANT the "last accessed" file, and it doesn't matter what that file is, it never hurts to qualify.

On another note, given that RPG doesn't give you indenting to show nesting level, I always use ENDIF/ENDDO/ENDSL rather than END, and frequently add comments to indicate which group I'm supposed to be ending. Then again, at times, I have enough nesting levels active that if I draw nesting lines on a printout (and I find I rarely go through a week without having to analyze nesting at least once), I might go through five ink colors twice.
