Terminates spooling to a specified device or device class. (CM)
STOPSPOOL [{ldev[;OPENQ]}] {devclass }
ldev The logical device number of a spooled device. The spooler process gives up ownership of the spooled device. If the OPENQ parameter is omitted, the device becomes available only for non-spooled I/O (except for HP2680 and HP2688 page printers, which are never assigned to non-spooled user processes). devclass The device class specified in system I/O configuration. When used, it applies to all devices belonging to the device class specified. Subsequent I/O directed to this device class will not take place to/from a spoolfile. I/O will go directly to/from a logical device if one is available within the device class. If none is available, the program will be unable to open the file. OPENQ May be specified with the ldev parameter only. The spooler process will leave the queue OPEN, or will open the queue if previously shut. Default is SHUTQ.
You may use the STOPSPOOL command to stop the spooling process for a specified device and for any and all device classes associated with it. When devclass is issued with STOPSPOOL, the command applies to all devices that belong to the device class specified. It would be as though a STOPSPOOL command were issued for each individual device. When you specify ldev, however, you may shut the spooling queue or leave it open. Default is SHUTQ. This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or from a program. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It may be issued only from the console. Unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE commands.
To terminate spooling to logical device number 6 and cause the spooler process to relinquish control of that device, enter STOPSPOOL 6 To terminate spooler processes for all devices in class LP, also closing their queues, enter STOPSPOOL LP To terminate spooling on device 6 and leave the queue open, enter STOPSPOOL 6;OPENQ
