Dclose            PR             9B 0 EXTPROC('close')
D                                9B 0 VALUE
 *
Dopen             PR             9B 0 EXTPROC('open')
D                                 *   VALUE
D                                4A   VALUE
Dread             PR             9B 0 EXTPROC('read')
D                                9B 0 VALUE
D                                 *   VALUE

Rajeev,

No, but you can write a C program that reads the stream file and call it from
