David,
Why the filenameOpen switch? I always use:
IF %open(whatever);
CLOSE whatever;
ENDIF;
I guess the switch would be more efficient as one wouldn't have to go through the %bif's code. Is there any other reason/advantage?
Thanks.

You can have USROPN and when you are opening file check file is open or not
If not %open(fileName);
Open fileName;

I do that often, but I also set a flag so I can test to see if I opened the file and only close the file if I actually opened it.
if not %open(filename);
open filename;
filenameOpen = *on;
endif;

if filenameOpen;
close filename;
