  > IMS Online Reorganization Facility features and benefits
  >> BMP pause feature
  >>> How BMPs are affected during a reorganization
  >>>> BMPs running during the reorganization
  When the BMP pause feature is enabled, IMS Online Reorganization
  Facility pauses the BMP job after the following calls:
   - CHKP call
   - SYNC call
   - GU call against I/O PCB, whose DL/I status is QC
  If you have BMP jobs that you do not want to pause, see
  "Modifying BMP jobs so that they are not paused by the BMP
  handler".

  > Changing the IMS Online Reorganization Facility environment
  >> Modifying BMP jobs so that they are not paused by the BMP
     handler
  If you enable the BMP pause feature and you have some BMP jobs
  that you do not want to pause, you can disable the BMP pause
  feature only for such BMP jobs.
  Procedure
    To disable the BMP pause feature for a BMP job, specify the
    HRFBPOFF DD statement in the JCL of the BMP job.
    For example, if you add the following HRFBPOFF DD statement to
    the JCL of a BMP job, the BMP handler does not pause the BMP
    job even when IMS Online Reorganization Facility requests the
    BMP job to stop.
      //HRFBPOFF DD DUMMY
    When this BMP job starts, IMS Online Reorganization Facility
    issues the following message to notify you about a BMP job tha
    will not pause:
      HRF01000I: BMP PAUSING IS DISABLED FOR THIS JOB
