I was bit by that one a long while ago.
If that's the case, best to do something like the following to make sure the
info is relevant to the current account.
COMMON /PGMNAME/ FILE.POINTER,PGMNAME.INIT
IF NOT(ASSIGNED(PGMNAME.INIT)) THEN PGMNAME.INIT=''
IF [EMAIL PROTECTED] THEN
PGMNAME.INIT=''
OPEN '',FILE.NAME TO FILE.POINTER ELSE WHATEVER
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
END
