To stop the printing of the current output group and requeue the output according to its job priority for later processing.

Syntax


>>-$E--+-PRTnnnnn---+--+-------------+-------------------------><
       '-Rnnnnn.PRm-'  +-,PRTnnnnn---+   
                       '-,Rnnnnn.PRm-'

Parameters

nnnnn: For PRT, the identifier of the local printer (1-32767) to restart. For R, the identifier of the remote workstation (1-32767) that is attached to printer m (1-7).
m: The identifier of the printer (1-7) that is attached to the remote workstation Rnnnnn (1-32767).

Processing Considerations

For the 3800 printer, JES2 restarts the output group that is visible at the transfer station.
When the output is again selected for processing, printing resumes at the beginning of the output group.

Authority Required

This command requires device authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires update security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Scope

Single Member. This command will be in effect for this member only. There is no need to have this command issued to all members of the MAS.

Messages

The $HASP170 message displays the status of output processing on the specified printer.

Example

 1   $e prt2

  $HASP170 PRT2 RESTARTED

Printer 2 stops printing the current output group and JES2 returns the output to the output queue in priority sequence. Printer 2 then selects the next available data set for processing.
