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  )
