He just silences the return code from the Open()
$filec = Open(1,"c:\outdata.txt",5)
Could also be the 4.02 version of KiX. AScan was not added until 4.20 but that does not explain the failure to create ,"c:\outdata.txt". Could be that this is not the entire script and that there is an earlier Open() that uses file handle 1.
