Typically at the beginning of each day, they start the writer >for this printer and then immediately put the output queue on hold. They >then sort out the spool files that arrive in the queue to determine which >files should go to the physical printer and which ones should be moved to >other queues. Sometimes they don't get the queue put on hold fast >enough and >they have a file print that should have been moved to a different queue. > >They were wondering whether there was a method to start a print writer but >keep its associated queue on hold. I looked at the Start Print Writer >command and it doesn't seem to include such an option. Could this >requirement be supported with CL routine? Hold the queue then start the writer.
