STOP Usage Notes

Stopping the request queue halts all movement of jobs to the ready queue until a START is issued for the request queue. All other functions that relate to jobs in the request queue continue normally and outstanding requirements are posted as they are satisfied. JCL overrides can be entered and manual posting done, prompts are issued for jobs that are late, and so forth.

Stopping the ready queue prevents submission of any jobs for execution on the CPUs. Movement of jobs into the ready queue continues normally unless the request queue is also stopped.
