I am not sure I understand the issue? In RPG I would use an F-spec for

If you're happy with a compile time definition. We get
a lot more flexibility if we wait until run-time to determine
what file the program is running over. This can be done
with RPG.

Is there any language that just knows what files you want to use, with
no need to define, open, or close them? ?


Is that strawman heavy?
