- -I ran into a strange problem with an old basic program. The program attempts to read from a random access file opened with the following statement:
- OPEN,"XXXXXXX.XXX" as #1 LEN=200
- The program works on a pc clone running DOS 5.0. It supposedly ran under DOS 3.2
- I brought it to my PC running DOS 4.02? and keep getting an error message. It does not seem to like the reclen greater than 128.
- Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? I tried to run the program
- with the three basic interpreters mentioned earlier, but to no avail.
