[Talk] BWS question for Meditech C/S

[Lew Hundley]

If I want to write a loop for a Meditech Magic script to look for EOF, I do something like this   While Not EOF(1)   Where 1 was used to open the file   Open FileName As #1   and is a unique identifier of the file (you don’t have two files open at the same time as 1)   Now, in C/S I need to write a loop using the new DataStation, so the code generated by BWS is   D.Open_ “C:\SOMEFILE” , ftFixedLength   where ftFixedLength is system defined as the number 2. Assuming the same logic is used for the While   While Not EOF(ftFixedLength)   doesn’t this mean that if I wanted to have 2 fixed length files open at the same time (say, transferring data to two file at the same time, that I would have to change the tool-generated ftFixedLength of the second file that I want to open to some other number?   I just want to clarify that I understand the use of ftFixedLength in the D.Open_ statement, since both files could be fixed length files, but the number has to be unique. This may be a stupid question, but I just want to be sure that I understand.
