Terminates spooling to a specified device or device class.
Syntax |
 |
STOPSPOOL [{ ldev [;OPENQ] devclass }]
Parameters |
|
- ldev
The logical device number of a spooled device. The
spooler process gives up ownership of the spooled device. If the
OPENQ parameter
is omitted, the device becomes available only for nonspooled I/O.
When a logical device is assigned to more than one device class,
to restart spooling for a specific device class issue an explicit
STARTSPOOL request
for that class.
- devclass
The device class specified in the system I/O configuration.
Subsequent I/O directed to this device class does not take place
to/from a spool file. I/O goes directly to/from a logical device
if one is available within the device class. If none is available,
the program is unable to open the file.
- OPENQ
May be specified with the ldev
parameter only. The spooler process leaves the queue in an OPEN
state, or opens the queue if previously shut. Default is SHUTQ.
Operation Notes |
|
Use the STOPSPOOL
command to stop spooling for a single logical device, or for all
devices assigned a common device class. Using the devclass
parameter in a STOPSPOOL
command shuts the queue for that device class. When you specify
ldev, however, you may shut the spooling queue
or leave it open. Default is SHUTQ.
Use |
|
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Pressing Break has
no effect on this command. It may be issued only from the console
unless distributed to users with the ALLOW
or ASSOCIATE
command.
Examples |
|
To terminate spooling to logical device number 6 and cause
the spooler process to relinquish control of that device, enter:
Spooling also terminates for any device class that references
this device unless STARTSPOOL
has been issued for a specific device class.
To stop directing output for device class LP
to a spool file (provided a STOPSPOOL 6
has also been issued), enter:
To terminate spooling on device 6 and leave the queue open,
enter:
