I'd use an explicit OPEN and your own chosen unit, and use FILE and 
DEFAULTFILE for the file specification on the explicit OPEN. This gives 
you direct control over all of this.

The file unit selected is best not 5 or 6 (nor 100, 101, nor 102), and 
either manually coordinated with all other units used in the app, or 
automatically coordinated with other units via ubiquitous usage of 
LIB$GET_LUN within the app.
