HOLDAFTER Command
The following command, removes the hold and the job once again begins printing from
page 1:
HOLDAFTER Command
The HOLDAFTER command sets the hold-after-printing flag on or off for the current
job. If there is no current job, then the job most recently spooled becomes the current
job. When the hold-after-printing flag of a job is on and the job has finished printing,
the spooler places that job in the HOLD state rather than deleting it from the spooler
subsystem.
The HOLD command puts a job in the HOLD state immediately; HOLDAFTER allows it
to print before being placed in the HOLD state.
ON
sets the hold-after-printing flag on for the current job. ON is the default.
OFF
sets the hold-after-printing flag off for the current job.
Considerations
•
If a batch job is current, the HOLDAFTER command operates on all jobs that are
part of the current batch job.
•
The HOLDAFTER command is not supported if the current job is a spooler job file.
Example
After entering Peruse, you can set the hold-after-printing flag on for a job to keep it in
the spooler after it has printed. The A under the HOLD column indicates that the hold-
after-printing flag is on:
