I am opening then deleting a file.
C80 is the file and it exists
open (98,FILE=c80)
close (98,STATUS='DELETE')
I get the error message :
inconsistent open/close parameters, unit 98, file "unknown"
I don't understand why I'm getting an error, and why it says file "unknown" rather than give the name of the file.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David

After some more investigation I found that the file was "read only".
It would have been nice if the error message had said this and that the file name was given.
