<B>LOC Current File Position</B>
<U>y</U> = <B>LOC</B>(<U>filenum</U>)
Returns the record number last read from or written to a specified
(open) file.
<U>filenum</U> The number under which the file was OPENed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> When a sequential file is opened for input, the first
sector is automatically read, so LOC(<U>filenum</U>) for a newly
opened sequential file returns 1. LOC(<U>filenum</U>) for a
sequential file opened for OUTPUT or APPEND returns the
current byte position divided by 128.
If <U>filenum</U> specifies a communications file, LOC returns
the number of characters waiting in the communications
buffer. If that number is larger than 255, LOC returns
255.
