The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

In all my functions that require I/O access, I have a parm that indicates the
action for the routine.
If the action is *GET (for example), I test if the files are open, and if not,
open them.
If the action is *CLOSE, I just close any files that are open.
Personally I would not have an action parameter, I would (and do in my
own service programs) have a separate procedure for each action.
Not only does that eliminate parameter compatibility issues between
the different actions, it also allows using a cross-referencing tool
to show what program is requesting what actions based on the
procedures used by that program.
