I'd use FEOD with the N extender. i.e. FEOD(N) filename;

This version is far more efficient than even the basic FEOD
and better than removing blocking. Its effect is to write the
current updated block back to the OS buffers so that it is
immediately visible to other programs - it just doesn't force
the system to wait while the data is written to disk.

Avoid closing the file whenever possible.

Likewise, you could use FEOD (without closing the file) Or

you could

put BLOCK(*NO) on the F-spec.
