I figured that that would be assumed. If the file is usropn then at the
beginning of the procedure you would do the check for %open(filename) each
time. And it would only open it if it was not opened yet. Then the code
I posted would close all the files when the service program ended and the
activation group was reclaimed. And even if the job ended abnormally the
files would get closed properly.

You can open them once and leave them open and have them automagically
closed at the end if you do something like this....

Or you can check the %OPEN(filename) function to see if the file is
already open.
