File Operation I/O Statements 12
'REPLACE'
'UNKNOWN'
Indicates the file replaces another. If the file to be replaced exists, it is
deleted and a new file is created with the same name. If the file to be
replaced does not exist, a new file is created and its status changes to
'OLD'.
Indicates the file may or may not exist. If the file does not exist, a new
file is created and its status changes to 'OLD'.
Scratch files go into a temporary directory and are visible while they are open. (For more
information, see Building Applications.)
The default is 'UNKNOWN'. This is also the default if you implicitly open a file by using WRITE.
However, if you implicitly open a file using READ, the default is 'OLD'. If you specify compiler
option F66 (or OPTIONS /NOF77), the default is 'NEW'. For the correct form of this option, see
the Compiler Options reference.
NOTE. The STATUS specifier can also appear in CLOSE statements to
indicate the file’s status after it is closed. However, in CLOSE statements the
status values are the same as those listed for the DISPOSE specifier (see
“DISPOSE Specifier”).
TITLE Specifier (W*32, W*64)
The TITLE specifier indicates the name of a child window in a QuickWin application. It takes the
following form:
TITLE = name
name
Is a character expression.
If TITLE is specified in a non-Quickwin application, a run-time error occurs.
