Re: outq order of spooled files

Jim,

I think I read once that RPG opens and closes files (if not UsrOpn) in the 
reverse order they're listed in the source.

Maybe if you put print2 above print1 in your program source, it'll do what 
you need.

Was closing when pgm ended (not a specific close in rpg code).
Let me try that (actually passing this on to another pgmr).
The priority will not work - 10 order entry clerks all banging in orders,
the print is in shipping & each order has to stay together.
