NEW Flag

RFM Flags: Open output files as 'NEW'

23MAR24

Enabled
Use STATUS='NEW' in Fortran OPEN statements for output files.

Disabled
Use STATUS='UNKNOWN' in Fortran OPEN statements for output files.

Restrictions
None.

Notes
  1. Use this Flag if you want to prevent the RFM from overwriting existing files with the same name. On most systems any attempt to do so will then result in a fatal I/O error message.
