SPOOLER dev ;SUSPEND;KEEP;OFFSET=-15
SPOOLER dev ;RESUME;OFFSET=20
Output resumes at (absolute) page 20.
3. Under the same original conditions as the previous two examples:
SPOOLER dev ;SUSPEND;KEEP;OFFSET=20
SPOOLER dev ;RELEASE;OFFSET=-5
The next time this copy is selected by a spooler, its output will start at page 15 (absolute
page 20-5).
4. To ensure that a file resumes at the beginning, enter:
SPOOLER dev ;SUSPEND;NOKEEP;OFFSET=1
When you use the SHOW option, the display shows the current state of the selected
spooler(s) at the time the command executor has completed processing the command. This
means that the selected spooler(s) may not actually be in the requested state, but in a
pending state on the way to achieving the requested state. This is because it has not
finished acting on the command and updating the process state before the SHOW option is
performed. If this is so, an asterisk (*) precedes the process state on the SHOW display to
denote that the state is pending. Please refer to LDEV 14 in the example display of the
SHOW option above.
An example of output using the SHOW option might be:
SPOOLER LP;SHOW

14 LDEV14 *SUSPEND OPENED OUT SPOOLER #O237
