.STREAM OPEN

Line: 17 to 17

Description:

Changed:

<
<

This subroutine is called to open a file stream. A file stream can point to an actual file on the filesystem, or it can be output from an O/S command (eg, opening a 'pipe' via a file name of "|dir" or "|ls- l").

>
>

The first three parameters are required, and the subroutine will CANCEL if they are are not all received. The <line_termination> parameter is optional.

<stream_name> is the symbolic name of the stream used to open the file (Required). This can be any name you desire. All subsequent operations on this stream will be via this name.

Changed:

<
<

<pathname> is the actual file to be opened (ie, /tmp/appx-registration.txt) or the pipe to be read (ie, "|ls -l /tmp") (Required). If you are opening a file for WRITE or APPEND, Appx will also create the path if necessary.

>
>

<pathname> is the actual file to be opened (ie, /tmp/appx-registration.txt), the pipe to be read (ie, "|ls -l /tmp") or the URL to be read (ie, http://www.appx.com

) (Required). If you are opening a file for WRITE or APPEND, Appx will also create the path if necessary.

<open_mode> determines how the file will be opened. Valid values are READ, WRITE, and APPEND. You may also just use the first letter of each word (R, W, A).
