I probably wrote that section N years and generated the code, and I don't
see how you could pass it by content since the calling side can't be a file.

Probably what I did was:
1) pass file number by value if \\ or default
2) If by reference, we pass address of the file number.
3) If by content, pass address of copy of the file number?

But as others have mentioned, use EXTERNAL.
