Yes, this is also why I don't like to keep files open...

Thanks for your suggestion.
I actually have coded some CloseFiles routines for usage with a series of 
serviceroutines I have recently created. But I'm not very happy to use this 
approach with lots of serviceprograms. It happened a few times to me that I 
forgot to define a call to a CloseFiles procedure of a serviceprogram that I 
used in the calling program.
So that is why I consider to create a serviceprogram that registers every 
serviceprogram and its CloseFiles procedure when the serviceprogram is called 
for the first time.
 
Best regards,
Arco Simonse
