Use the NMS command SPOOLER with the parameter RESUME or the command RESUMESPOOL.

Both SPOOLER...;RESUME and RESUMESPOOL begin printing where the printer left off, provided that the following conditions are met:

  • You suspended the spooler with either SUSPENDSPOOL (without the ;FINISH option) or SPOOLER ldev ;SUSPEND (without the ;FINISH option but with the ;KEEP option and with no specified offset).

  • You did not enter SPOOLER ldev ;RELEASE while the spooler was suspended. (The RELEASE parameter directs a suspended spooler to release a spool file that it is currently retaining.)

Now suppose that logical device 6 is owned by a spooler process. Enter:

   SPOOLER 6 ;SUSPEND

Suppose that the spooler had just transmitted the 20th line of page 10 and suppose that the conditions above hold. To continue spooling at the 21st line of page 10 as if the suspension never took place, enter:

   SPOOLER 6 ;RESUME

If you do not suspend this way, the spooler prints a trailer and prints a header when it resumes. If the spooler releases a file, any specified offset is honored by the next spooler that prints the file. If there is no offset, the next spooler starts at the beginning of the page at which the previous output was suspended.
