MV BASIC DATA and DICT file access

Open MV files and safely read, write, query and delete records

01

File variables connect BASIC to persisted data

OPEN resolves a local file pointer or Q-pointer and returns a file variable. Later READ, WRITE and DELETE statements use that variable, so account and storage details stay behind one MV BASIC interface. Always handle the ELSE branch: a missing file is an operational condition, not a value to ignore.
