FORTRAN run-time error F6425
BACKSPACE illegal for SEQUENTIAL WRITE-ONLY files
The BACKSPACE statement is not allowed in files opened with
MODE = WRITE (write-only status) since BACKSPACE requires
reading the previous record in the file to provide
positioning.
Resolve the problem by giving the file read access or by
avoiding the BACKSPACE statement. Note that the REWIND
statement is valid for files opened as write-only.
