Bob, I don't by your suggestion. CLOSE closes a file, and FREE_LUN
deallocates a unit number; they are completely separate functions. [
Although it is true that FREE_LUN on an open unit will close it as
well as deallocating it. ] You can definitely use CLOSE and then
FREE_LUN. I do it all the time.
