[About The Guide]
NAME: Assign
USE: Associates a filename with a file variable. The Filename can
be any valid filename with or without a path, and is limited
to 79 characters. If no path is provided, the current directory
is assumed.
Once Assign is called, the file Variable will continue to be
associated with the FileName until the File Variable is Re-
assigned to another filename.
If Assign is given a filename of 0 characters ( '' ) then
the FileVariable will be associated with the standard input
or output device.
DEPENDENCY: None
SYNTAX: Assign(FileVariable, Filename);
RESTRICTION: Assign cannot be performed on an open file.
EXAMPLE: Program TestAssign;
Var
FVar : Text;
Begin
Assign(FVar,'Test.Dat');
ReWrite(FVar);
Writeln(FVar,'Assign Test');
Close(FVar);
end;
