COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_
Any other value for open-type causes an error.
Printers or Spoolers
When the parameter open-type has the value 1, the COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_
routine opens a line printer or a print spooler collector. Unlike the
COBOLSPOOLOPEN routine, COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_ allows parameters to be
defined in the Extended-Storage Section. Furthermore, COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_
provides the only mechanism for suppressing the initial page ejection that COBOL
always provides for jobs destined for printing.
