Hi,
I have a file opened as output in a main program. I am calling a sub program from this main program, and in the sub-program, I need to write records in to the file I opened in the main program. Is there any way by which I can achieve this with out closing the file in the main program, then select, re-open in the sub-program?
Thanks
JA
