This article was previously published under Q87982 SYMPTOMS
Programs that open an unformatted scratch file with the unit number 0, 5,
or 6 may cause the following error:
run-time error F6202: OPEN(CON)
-terminal I/O not consistent with OPEN options
CAUSE
The unit numbers 0, 5, and 6 for the open statement have been
pre-assigned to do formatted I/0 on keyboard and screen. Opening
unformatted scratch files with these unit numbers causes the
runtime to attempt to open the keyboard or screen for unformatted
I/O, which generates the above error. This is expected and correct
behavior.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this error, open the scratch file with any number other
than 0, 5, and 6.
