RANK The ranking of the file and its order in the system with respect to other
files of the same output priority and
classname or ldev . A time stamp
activated by the FCLOSE intrinsic determines the file's rank.

spooled device files. A file can be deferred if its priority is less than or
equal to system outfence or to the outfence of a specific device.
PRI The output priority requested by a user or as adjusted by the system
