Re: Conditional File OPEN

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, Buck.  It was created (CRTPF) with Share(*No).

None of the files on the system have Share(*Yes).  Which means that, if 
these two programs had opened the file implicitly (i.e., not been 
defined as USROPN), both programs would have still opened the file 
(i.e., data path); just never see that since it's under the covers.

Thanks, Buck.  I had never given much thought to files being opened 
(implicitly or explicitly) before.
