HOLD This parameter allows you to specify the state of the document in the
spooler.
What to Enter
PARAM HOLD boolean
boolean
can assume one of two values, corresponding to TRUE or FALSE.
How to Use HOLD
By specifying 0 or 1, you can tell TFORM whether you want documents to
be formatted and printed (0) or formatted only (1). TFORM sends this
value to the spooler when it calls SPOOLSTART. It tells the spooler
whether to make the status of the spool job READY (0) or HOLD (1).
Level 3 spooling (see the SPOOLOUT parameter) must be in operation for
this parameter to have any effect.
If you don’t enter this parameter, TFORM prints all documents
immediately. If you want to put a document on hold, you must use
PERUSE or SPOOLCOM to do so.
