A '''process-permanent file''' is a file open for the life of the process. Any file open with the [[OPEN]] command, whether from level 0 of [[DCL]] or from a command procedure, stays open for the life of the process until explicitly closed with the [[CLOSE]] command. Default process permanent files inlcude:

* [[SYS$INPUT]]
* [[SYS$OUTPUT]]
* [[SYS$ERROR]]
* [[SYS$COMMAND]]

Process-permanent files are stored in a special area in memory. Note that if you keep a large number of files open at the same time, you can exhaust this area. If this occurs, close some of the files (or log out).
