Disabling and Enabling an Active Online Application

You can use the DISABLE and ENABLE commands to force active users to exit from an active application to import a new version of that application by using the transport utility or by creating a new version of a load module. You can use the DISABLE command against applications that are in VLS object format or load module format.

The syntax of these commands is described in the Command Reference Guide.

The DISABLE command forces users to exit from an application. The DISABLE command must specify the highest level of an application (that program executed by a RUN command). It has no effect if issued for a subprogram. Precede the DISABLE command with the appropriate SELECT SYSTEM command.
