If you allow the file to be automatically opened, you are correct the
system will only open it the one time and will not close it.  Note that
if you close it manually but the activation group is not terminated,
you'll get an error as the system will not re-open the file.

However, the OP was talking about manually opening/closing the files.

I always thought that the file is only open once during the service
program start up.  Subsequence call to procedures will not 
cause file to
open or close.  Am I wrong on this?

afaik the default advice of ibm is that files in a service program
should be defined usropn. but if i open and close the files on every
procedure call the batch program is really slow.
