(j3.2006) FLUSH on non-connected unit

[Bill Long]

You probably want 9.5.3p2:

All input/output statements are permitted to refer to units that exist. The CLOSE, INQUIRE, and WAIT statements are also permitted to refer to units that do not exist. No other input/output statement shall refer to a unit that does not exist.

Cheers,
Bill
