Thanks Craig. That's not the case here, as this program is the only one in

I may be misremembering all of the implications of this, but I've seen this
used all the time in a package from a vendor who refuses to update their
code. Most of the time, the usage of the file in the program is for read
only or write only, but it has the full "UF A E" syntax.

The only thing I came up with is that they are doing a "full open" so that
everything will share the same ODP.
