RE: F SPEC to clear a file?

When Jon speaks, I look carefully before answering.  It was my recollection
that O in RPG/400 + did not clear the output file like it did on
S/3/32/34/36.  So I tested it:

fmastest   o    e             disk
C                   SETON                                        LR

This did not clear my file.  So I went hunting through The RPG Reference,
V5R1, but could not find a specific reference.  The S/36 manual wasn't very
helpful either.
Hm.
