How can I tell if a low level file is opened

[LeonelSanchezJr]

I have a low level file that sometimes remains opened.
So, when I need to rename it, I get an error because it's already in use.

Is there something related to fopen and fclose which could tell me if the file is in use?

Before trying to rename it, just try another FOPEN(). Since this tries to open the file exclusive, the open will fail (gracefully) if you or someone else has it open.

If it's open, how can I close it without knowing the handle number?

Hi
If you want to close all files then simply issue
CLOSE ALL
This closes all FOPEN FCREATE files as well. ramani :-9

The problem is that I don't want to open all FOPEN CREATE files since some other program may have them open and I would close theirs.

CLOSE ALL will only close the files your program has open.
