Suggestion: the following idiom is useful when accessing files from DCL: $ close/nolog CONFIG ! clean up if necessary $ open/read CONFIG xxx.yyy $ read CONFIG line ... $ close CONFIG The close/nolog does no harm if the file is not currently open, but is very useful if the previous invocation of a command file has left the file open...
