The open/close/open is neccessary only if you want to have the CCSID you
requested respected on your writes. Otherwise you're good to go.

> Hi All,
> 
> I just started using the IFS API's, and some of the non-manual reading
> I've
> done (e.g. this mail list) suggests that in order to create and write
> to a
> file in the IFS, it is necessary to open it with the O_CREAT flag,
> close it,
> then open it again for writing.
> 
> As far as I could see in the manual, this is not a requirement of the
> API.
> And in fact, I wrote a program that successfully opens an IFS stream
> file
> with O_CREAT + O_WRONLY, writes to it, and closes it.
> 
> Am I missing something?
