I'm working on an application which needs to close files and release their
handles. We had been using the fclose_all procedure to do this but after
reading a recommendation(namely that fclose_all should only be used in an
emergency) decided to switch to the explicit utl_file.fclose (file_in). This
doesn't appear to work as well as the original fclose_all, as it doesn't
release the file handles. Why is this? What is the difference between the two
(other than the obvious, one works and the other doesn't!)?
