HOLD Command

The HOLD command interrupts the normal scheduling progress by holding the forward movement of a job. It can also be used to hold the contents of an entire queue. This function is available on the QM.1, QM.6, and QM.7 panels with a FILL value of H. Depending on the timing and whether there are any other predecessor situations, this can sometimes be accomplished with the QM.3 panel.

This command has the following format:

►►─ HOLD ─┬────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────►◄
          └─ , ─┬─ JOB= ─┬─ jobname ───┬─┬─┘
                │        ├─ jobnumber ─┤ │
                │        └─ refnumber ─┘ │
                └─ Q= ─┬─ REQ ─┬─────────┘
                       └─ RDY ─┘
