Re: declaring a file local to a sub-procedure

OPEN

The trick is to have the f-spec specify EXTNAME(wSomeVariable)

then it's just:

wSomeVarible = 'FILENAME';
open myfile;

This functionality has been around for a long time.

subprocedure could USROPN the file based on that name.

Really, Rob?  Cool!  What's the opcode for opening a file by variable name?
