OPEN: ASSOCIATEVARIABLE Specifier

The ASSOCIATEVARIABLE specifier indicates a variable that is updated after each direct access I/O operation, to reflect the record number of the next sequential record in the file. It takes the following form:

ASSOCIATEVARIABLE = asv

asv

Is a scalar integer variable. It cannot be a dummy argument to the routine in which the OPEN statement appears.

Direct access READs, direct access WRITEs, and the FIND, DELETE, and REWRITE statements can affect the value of asv.

This specifier is valid only for direct access; it is ignored for other access modes.
