HOLD Usage Notes

Jobs can be held individually in the request or ready queues.

When a HOLD is issued by job name, all jobs and workstation networks with that name are held. There can be multiple jobs with the same name.

A specific input workstation network can be held in the preprocess queue. All output workstation networks associated with a specific job name or CA 7 job number can be held in the postprocess queue.

Workstation networks are held only if a station is found logged in but not logged out.

A HOLD command issued for an entire queue affects only those jobs in the queue at the time the command is processed. Jobs entering the queue after the HOLD are not placed in hold status unless done individually.

Jobs can also be moved into the request queue in HOLD status when the DEMANDH, RUNH, or LOADH commands are used.
