HOLDFILE Command

The HOLDFILE command holds a file so that requests for it are placed in a queue. By doing this, you make the file unavailable to jobs and users.

Syntax

HOLDFile ddname

ddname

Identifies the file you are holding.

Note:

• HOLDFILE commands are usually issued from a console of an operator.
• To fail requests for a file (rather than placing them in a queue), use the CLOSEFILE command.

Example

To close the DPMFMAP file so users must wait for it to become available again, issue this command:

HOLDFILE DPMFMAP
