Decide to stop ignoring RNF7534.  Add a CLOSE.  No open statement yet, no
USROPN.  Warning message during compile goes bye-bye.  Executes fine the
first time.  Second time says that the files aren't opened.

Rob, the implicit open for a file in a NOMAIN module happens the first
time any procedure is called in the module, during module
initialization.  Module initialization is only done once per activation
group.  So if you close a file, and want to use it again, you should
open it again.

If your new CLOSE operations are in a new "cleanup" procedure that you
added to the module to call at end of application, you could add an
"init" procedure that you call at start of application with matching
OPEN operations.
