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!)?
