Bob, Our Named Common / Dimensioned Array method of managing file handles goes back w-a-y before the web, to our Pr1me Information machines (before my time here). Opening files only once per session made a very big difference indeed in those days. Maybe it's not be so influential on today's machines, but it's not broken, so we won't fix it!
On the other hand, I've seen postings here recently that said that taking a file open outside of a subroutine call did make an application run significantly faster.

I'm not convinced, personally, that this has much benefit to system performance but the system works pretty well so who am I to complain? <smile> BobW [snip] The information contained in this Internet Email message is intended for the addressee only and may contain privileged information, but not necessarily the official views or opinions of the New Zealand Defence Force.
