The $ItsOpen function lets you determine whether a file is open. $ItsOpen only checks files, not groups of files. The return codes are:
| 0 | The file is not open. |
| 1 | The file is open. |
Syntax
The format for the $ItsOpen function is:
$ItsOpen({[FILE] name [AT location] | [PERM | TEMP] [GROUP] name})
where name (optional) is a %variable or a literal name of the file or group. You must enter the filename in uppercase. A file synonym name can also be used.
If you do not enter a location (specifying a null argument), Model 204 uses the reference context (at compile time) of the statement that calls the function.
Example
Begin %file Is String Len 8 %file = $read('ENTER THE FILENAME') If $itsopen(%file) Then Print %file ' IS OPEN' Else Print %file ' IS NOT OPEN' End

- $Context, which returns a number to indicate whether the context is a file or group.
