FileHandle :: Open - Open file handle

The file handle is opened at the location cpath in the given access mode and as binary file, always.. If the file is opened in write mode ( accopt PI_Write ), existing file will be overwritten. If the file path passed in cpath does not exist, open will fail.

// C++

file_handle.Open("myFile.txt",PI_Write);

// OSI

file_handle.Open("myFile.txt","PI_Write");

file_handle.Open("myFile.txt",PIACC::PI_Write);

Notes:

The access mode has to be passed as enumerator value in C++. In OSI, the value might be passed as scoped enumerator value or as string containing the enumerator name.

Return value:  Success ( logical  )
