Reset

Open file for reading

Declaration

Source position: systemh.inc line 1182

Description

Reset opens a file F for reading. F can be any file type. If F is a text file, or refers to standard I/O (e.g : '') then it is opened read-only, otherwise it is opened using the mode specified in filemode. If F is an untyped file, the record size can be specified in the optional parameter L. A default value of 128 is used. File sharing is not taken into account when calling Reset.

Errors

Depending on the state of the {$I} switch, a runtime error can be generated if there is an error. In the {$I-} state, use IOResult to check for errors.
