Responding to Bryan Rubingh from 1928-08-02 concerning close file in REXX, on
Os2prog

Hi Bryan:

BR> I've written a REXX program which reads one file, changes a few lines as
BR> it reads and writes to a second file, doing the above one line at a
BR> time.  When it reaches the end of the first file, I want to copy the
BR> second file (the one REXX created) to another location.  I've tried just
BR> doing:
BR> copy file2 file3
BR> but I get an OS/2 error when running the program that file2 is in use.
BR> Is there any way in REXX to close the file so that the OS can copy it?

  There is an OS/2 Rexx forum, but all that you have to do is
explicitly close the file with a call to "rc = lineout('file')"
This is documented in the Rexx IPF file.


hasta luego, baden
