Hi All:

I have a little problem going on with two Cobol programs. I am sure I  
already know the answer but
I will run it by everyone on the list in case there is a solution.
 
Cobol program #1 (mainline) and Cobol program #2 (also a mainline)
 
#1 program runs program #2 with the RUN command via the COMMAND  intrinsic.
 
#1 FOPENS a file (pm file, fopens ok) and the file number returns a value  
of +0010
 
#2 FOPEN's a different file and the returned file number is also a value of 
 +0010
 
Ouch. This isn't exactly what I had been hoping for. When control returns  
to program #1
 
I "FCLOSE" the file opened by #1 -- the bad news is that the file opened by 
 program #2 is being closed!
 
 
Is there any way of "forcing" the file system to give me different file  
numbers so that the correct files
 
are being closed?
 
TIA,
Brian Donaldson.
