Is it possible that the name Old_File at line 71 does not refer to the
variable Old_File declared at line 32? Possibly at line 71 you are
referring to a subprogram parameter of mode in, which would hide the
declaration at line 32. A mode in parameter is a constant and cannot be
passed to Close (in out), but can be passed to Read (in).
