file SCREEN with filename CON

[mbussieck]

In err_stat.mod the file SCREEN uses file name CON to write to the console. I guess the intention on the SCREEN file is to write messages from TIMES to the GAMS log. This works okay on Windows with lo=1 (the current default). A much better way is to use the empty string as a file name (FILE SCREEN / '' /;). This works platform independent and writes to the GAMS log independent of if this goes to con or /dev/tty, stdout, or a log file.

Thanks for the comment. Using CON here stems from the early days of TIMES. Your suggestion of changing it will most likely be taken in the next versions.
