Quick, Quiz, spool file question?

Assuming that your QUICK screen is building some kind of USE file where
the contents look something like:

   USE Report1
   USE Report2
   USE Report3
   EXIT

...you should be able to use the NOCLOSE option of the SET REPORT
statement to keep a single spool file open, and so have each
subsequent "report" simply appended to the end of the previous one.

Best regards,

Subject: Quick, Quiz, spool file question?


Hi all,

I am on a HP3000 using PH Ver 8.19.c1.  Each item on a order has a list of
process that need to be done.  Each process has a deferent one page report
that is needed.  To do the reports I use a quick screen that reads the order
and item then reads another file that tells you what operations are needed
to be done for that order and item.   Then  it runs the correct quiz program
for each operation.  The problem is that this produces lots of one page
reports that get intermixed with other reports.  Is there a way to put all
of these one page reports in one spool file?

Thanks for any help that you provided.
