The HOLD command interrupts the normal scheduling progress by holding the forward movement of a job.
The command can also hold the contents of an entire queue.
This function is available on the QM.1 panel with a FILL value of H.
Depending on the timing and whether you have any other predecessor situations, the QM.3 panel can sometimes accomplish this process.
