	As shown in the sample jobs above, before you can use a newly created file, you will need to open and initialize it. Until you initialize the file, you do not have access to it; that is, you cannot define fields, store procedures, or perform any other file-level functions. If you try to use an uninitialized file, you might be logged out and softly restarted. For information about initializing files, see the [[INITIALIZE command]] or [[Initializing files]].</p>		As shown in the sample jobs above, before you can use a newly created file, you will need to open and initialize it.
