Makes one print job out of multiple print requests. The SP-OPEN command opens a single print file for several consecutive print requests. The SP-CLOSE command closes the print file.

SP-OPEN SP-CLOSE |
Description
SP-OPEN activates the O option of SP-ASSIGN; SP-CLOSE deactivates (turns off) the O option. SP-OPEN and SP-CLOSE are useful, however, when you want to create one print file out of a sequence of print requests without being affected by any other of the current SP-ASSIGNments.
These two commands have been superseded by the SP-ASSIGN command.
Using SP-OPEN and SP-CLOSE
The following example shows how to open a print file, send two print jobs, then close the print file. The SP-ASSIGNments are also shown both before and after using the SP-OPEN command:
