# Merge GENOPEN Routine

Merge the GENOPEN routine into your programs. This routine opens all data files in a consistent manner, and supports other functions, such as retrieving a template for a given file, opening a file on the first available channels, searching for a specific file within the FILE[ALL] array, and closing a file.
