Output control device and output control method

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

• storing, by a storage control unit, a plurality of output information items output from an application requesting output of a single output target information item as the plurality of output information items having the same identification information based on an output instruction, the plurality of output information items being stored in a predetermined save area upon changing the identification information of the plurality of output information items into identification information items that are different from each other;
• determining, by a determination unit, whether an instruction to output end information indicating an end of outputting of the single output target information item has been given after an instruction to output the single output target information item is given;
• and
• combining, by a combining unit, the plurality of output information items stored in the predetermined save area, when the instruction to output the end information indicating the end of outputting of the single output target information item has been given is determined to have been given by the determination unit,
• wherein the determining includes determining, by the determination unit, whether the end information has been output by determining whether an end notification file has been acquired, and
• wherein the determining includes determining, by the determination unit, whether the end information has been output by determining whether an end notification file has been acquired.

An output control method executed by an output control device, the output control method comprising:

• giving an instruction for outputting a single output target information item, to an application requesting output of the single output target information item as a plurality of output information items having the same identification information based on an output instruction, and subsequently giving an instruction to output end information indicating an end of outputting of the single output target information item;
• storing the plurality of output information items output from the application in a predetermined save area upon changing the identification information of the plurality of output information items into identification information items that are different from each other;
• determining whether the instruction to output the end information has been given;
• and
• combining the plurality of output information items stored in the predetermined save area, when the instruction to output the end information indicating an end of outputting of the single output target information item is determined to have been given,
• wherein the determining includes determining, by the determination unit, whether the end information has been output by determining whether an end notification file has been acquired, and
• wherein the determining includes determining, by the determination unit, whether the end information has been output by determining whether an end notification file has been acquired.
