Answer Wiki:
If I am understanding correctly, you want to select multiple records in a subfile, and print a report (spoolfile) for each record.
you can do this by specifying the USROPN keyword on the spool files F-spec, and then in your program, after EXFMT of the subfile, do a READC loop to find the records with the option 6.
for each record found with option 6, OPEN the spool file, do any necessary processing to generate the spoolfile, and then CLOSE the spool file.

End Loop
Simple as that.
