Hi Greg, of course you are totally right - how embarrassing! ;-) > Von: "Greg King" <greg.king5@verizon.net> >> Just do an OPEN"FILE,L,"+chr$(n); and, then a CLOSE -- the directory >> keeps being empty. >> https://plus.google.com/u/0/108561624393340605896/posts/DyBxy6wsXMJ > > Your program reuses the "d" variable!

But what do I learn from this: 1) after long years of programming C, Java, and even structured assembler I am really used to scope and protection of local variables 2) do more reuse, even if such a small routine like reading the error channel - in another test program I had already found and corrected this error. 3) Peer review to the rescue :-) Thanks for finding this!
