HLDRDR (Hold Reader)
Purpose
The Hold Reader (HLDRDR) command immediately stops the activity of the specified spooling reader. The reader is not ended, and its associated input device is not made available to the system. The reader remains inactive until a Release Reader (RLSRDR) or End Reader (ENDRDR) command is issued. Data is not lost when the reader is held.
Required Parameters
- RDR
- Specifies the name of the spooling reader being held.
Example for HLDRDR
HLDRDR RDR(QDKT)This command causes the diskette reader QDKT to immediately stop reading data. To release the reader, so that it can continue to read data, a Release Reader (RLSRDR) command must be entered. If the End Reader (ENDRDR) command is used, the reader is stopped and the job that was being read in is lost because no job entry was added to the job queue.
