SUSPEND Command
SUSPEND Command
The SUSPEND command blocks the LINE from accepting more OPEN requests from
the application programs. Nothing will be done to the current OPENers. All outstanding
requests will be processed and all further requests from the current OPENers will be
honored. SUSPEND is a sensitive command.
Command Syntax for the SUSPEND Command
The SUSPEND command has the following syntax:
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
LINE line-name
designates the line to be suspended. If you omit line-name, the assumed object
is suspended (for information about the ASSUME command, see the
SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or SCF Reference Manual for H-Series
RVUs).
Considerations for the SUSPEND Command
The SUSPEND command is accepted only if the LINE is in the STARTED state.
The SUSPEND command is rejected with an error if the LINE is already in the
SUSPENDED state.
The SUSPEND command is rejected with an error if the LINE is already in the
DIAGNOSING state.
