Hi. I am trying to open a file whose name is a variable using OPEN. The
code looks like this
OPENR,1,filename
where filename is a string. I checked...it is definitely a string. Could
someone please tell me how to open a file using a variable for the file name?
Thanks.

Myron.

It should work as stated. Works for me. Do you get some error message trying
to do it?
