There is not enough information here to decide the file should be
declared as Input, Output or Update. Either scenario could be
correct depending on how the program is written. If the only file
operations is WRITE, then the file should be designated as Output.
If there are input operations like READ or CHAIN plus output
operations like WRITE, then it should be set as Input with Add. If
there are input operations followed by an UPDAT, then it should be
Update. If there are UPDAT and WRITE, then it is Update with Add.
