'''RANDOM''' is used in an [[OPEN]] statement to read([[GET]]) from or write([[PUT]]) to a file.

:: OPEN Filename$ FOR RANDOM AS #1 [LEN = ''recordlength%'']
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
* RANDOM is the Default mode if no mode is given in the OPEN statement.
|
||
|
* It creates the file if the legal file name given does NOT exist.
|
||
|
* As a RANDOM file, it can read or write any record using [[GET]] and/or [[PUT]] statements.
|
||
|
* ''Recordlength%'' is determined by getting the LEN of a [[TYPE]] variable or a [[FIELD]] statement.
|
||
|
* If no record length is used in the [[OPEN]] statement, the default record size is 128 bytes except for the last record.
|
||
|
* A record length cannot exceed 32767 or an [[ERROR Codes|error]] will occur!
|
||
|
* To determine the number of records in a file the records% = [[LOF]] \ recordlength%.
|
||
|
* A serial communication port can also be opened for RANDOM in an [[OPEN COM]] statement.
