Discussion

The ENDFL subroutine is used with sequential and relative files to position the file pointer after the last record of the file.

After calling ENDFL, a WRITES writes the designated record after the last record of the file. Any records that are locked due to a previous operation are unlocked.

Examples

xcall endfl(5)
writes(5, rec)
