Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Message:      RT016
 
  Text:         Too many device files open
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  You have tried to exceed the maximum number of device
                files which you can have open at any one time.  This
                may be a software or an operating system constraint,
                but you must not violate it.
 
  Resolution:   Close some of the open device files which you are not
                currently accessing, and then try to open the relevant
                file again.  You should then be able to continue to
                run your program.
