BH> I can't seem to find what's wrong with the following:

 BH> /*Start */
 BH> call RxFuncAdd  'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs'
 BH> call SysLoadFuncs 

I believe these two calls are unnecessary...at least I didn't need them on
my machine. But, that is not the problem.

 BH> /* Open file for read & write */
 BH>    IF STREAM('F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','C','OPEN') == 'READY:' THEN
 BH>    DO
 BH>       /* Position at current end of file */
 BH>       CALL STREAM('F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','C','SEEK <0')    

Use either of the following instead...

CALL STREAM 'F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','C','SEEK <0'

ok = STREAM('F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','C','SEEK <0')

 BH>       /* Write an extra record */
 BH>       CALL LINEOUT('F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','Hi Bill')   

same comment as above

 BH>       /* Now close the file */
 BH>       CALL STREAM('F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT','C','CLOSE')

same comment as above

 BH>    END
 BH>    ELSE /* It's locked */
 BH>       SAY 'Unable to open '||''F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT''

This should be...

SAY 'Unable to open '||'''F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT'''

or, more simply...

SAY 'Unable to open ''F:\VXREXX\TEST.TXT'''
