Then you would only have to call that module, passing the necessary parameters i.e. file name, disposition, etc. The called module would return a return-code indicating success or failure. In case of success you would proceed as normal in opening, reading, closing your file. Call the module again to deallocate – free – the file allocation. At least I remember thats the way I used to do, although the dynamic allocaiton routine was an assembler module.
