STOPSPOOL 

Terminates spooling to a specified device or device class.

Syntax 

STOPSPOOL [{ldev[;OPENQ]}]
          [{devclass    }]
Parameters 

ldev                  The logical device number of a spooled device.  The
                      spooler process gives up ownership of the spooled
                      device.  If the OPENQ parameter is omitted, the
                      device becomes available only for nonspooled I/O.
                      When a logical device is assigned to more than one
                      device class, to restart spooling for a specific
                      device class issue an explicit STARTSPOOL request
                      for that class.

devclass              The device class specified in the system I/O
                      configuration.  Subsequent I/O directed to this
                      device class does not take place to/from a spool
                      file.  I/O goes directly to/from a logical device
                      if one is available within the device class.  If
                      none is available, the program is unable to open
                      the file.

OPENQ                 May be specified with the ldev parameter only.  The
                      spooler process leaves the queue in an OPEN state,
                      or opens the queue if previously shut.  Default is
                      SHUTQ.

Operation Notes 

Use the STOPSPOOL command to stop spooling for a single logical device,
or for all devices assigned a common device class.  Using the devclass 
parameter in a STOPSPOOL command shuts the queue for that device class.
When you specify ldev, however, you may shut the spooling queue or leave
it open.  Default is SHUTQ.

Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.  It may be issued only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE
command.

Examples 

To terminate spooling to logical device number 6 and cause the spooler
process to relinquish control of that device, enter:

     STOPSPOOL 6 

Spooling also terminates for any device class that references this device
unless STARTSPOOL has been issued for a specific device class.

To stop directing output for device class LP to a spool file (provided a
STOPSPOOL 6 has also been issued), enter:

     STOPSPOOL LP 

To terminate spooling on device 6 and leave the queue open, enter:

     STOPSPOOL 6;OPENQ
