In retrospect, maybe these are misleading names, as they really stand for EndOfServiceProgramProcessing and Initialize).  For instance, a file encapsulated service program will open the file in the $Open, and close it in the $Close.  Some of the more complex service programs may have more going on in those procedures, and sometimes there is nothing at all.

I have "reset" procedures as well as "open" and "close" procedures.

"open" calls "reset" after all of the files have been opened, but
"reset" can also be called independently to reinitialize various
things without bothering to close and reopen the files.
