MAXFILES
========

Function
--------

**MAXFILES** defines the maximum number of files that may be opened
simultaneously.

Syntax
------

MAXFILES = n

Examples
--------

::

   MAXFILES = 4

Sets the maximum number of files that may be opened simultaneously to
four.

Remarks
-------

MAXFILES will perform a 'CLEAR' operation destroying all existing symbol
table entries. It must therefore be defined at an early point in the
program.

MAXFILES may also be used for input, for example:

::

   100 PRINT "Maximum number of files to be opened = MAXFILES

will display:

::

   Maximum number of files to be opened = 4

If no MAXFILES has been specified a default value of one is taken.

The maximum number of files that may be opened simultaneously is 15.
