OPEN command

I have a problem with the OPEN command, this will NOT allow the READ option

(In my example test.txt exists)

If I use this:
OPEN testfile, C:\ODBscript\odb\Irascan\Drawings\test.txt ;
set line = $read(testfile); 
close testfile;

Then $line$ diplays the data ok.

However, if I use:

OPEN testfile, C:\ODBscript\odb\Irascan\Drawings\test.txt  READ;
set line = $read(testfile); 
close testfile;

$line$ is empty.

APPEND works ok
If the file not created then all options create a new file (including READ)

My version of ODB.exe is 16/05/07 15:39
