RE: Can files be opened local to a "subprocedure"?

Interesting... must be use case specific.

Like I said for my template....
First call = Open files, etc. (USROPN & STATIC keywords used on DCL-F)
Subsequent calls = Do something real
Final call = Close files, etc.

Glad to hear you can use it. IN most cases I found the open/close penalty too heavy.

It is perfectly possible to have subprocedures with local files. In fact it is the only way yo get true recursion in a file handling subproc.

It works!

It breaks pre-V6 compatibility on the application it's in, but then again, we haven't had anybody using this application on pre-V6, ourselves included, and indeed, I don't know if we even have anybody other than ourselves still using QuestView on pre-V6.
