Suspends output to a spooled device.
Operation Notes |
 |
When the spooler process is suspended, the message SP# ldev SPOOLER SUSPENDED
is displayed on the console. You may also determine the spooler's
status by entering SHOWOUT SP;JOB=@.
If suspended, any spool files listed will be READY for printing;
none are ACTIVE, and a SHOWDEV
of the spooled device indicates that the device is still spooled.
Refer to the SHOWOUT
command in this manual.
When suspending an ACTIVE spool file, first take the output
device offline. This gives you time to enter the command and determine
that the ACTIVE file is the one being printed. If you issue SUSPENDSPOOL
without taking the device offline, that file might finish printing
while you enter the command, and another file might start.
When your instruction has been sent to the spooler process,
MPE/iX returns a colon prompt (:).
The command is not executed, however, until the output device is
returned online. Only then do you receive the SPOOLER SUSPENDED
message.
