RE: Stupey service program thinks file is open -OR- %OPEN is easi ly f ooled?

Eric answered your activation group question, but I just had to comment on
the code you sent

just wanted to point out some nifty features of the language...

instead of:

>D TRUE            C                   CONST('1')
>D FALSE           C                   CONST('0')

you can use named indicators:

>d true            s               n   inz(*on)
>d false           s               n   inz(*off)

instead of:

>C                   IF        %OPEN(ILLDR) = FALSE
>C                   OPEN      ILLDR
>C                   ENDIF

c                   if        not %open(ILLDR)

or

c                   if        %open(ILLDR)

but then you probably already knew that... :)
