OUTPUT—CONTINUE subcommand operands
- BEGIN
- indicates output operations are to be resumed from the beginning of the data set being processed at the time of interruption.
- HERE
- indicates output operations are to be resumed at a point of interruption. If the attention key is pressed, processing resumes at the approximate point of interruption in the current data set. If end- of-data is reached and PAUSE is specified, processing resumes at the beginning of the next data set (even if it is checkpointed and HERE is specified on the command).
- NEXT
- halts all processing of the current data set and specifies that
output operations are to be resumed with the next data set.
The next data set is determined by the BEGIN, HERE, or NEXT operand on the OUTPUT command. If BEGIN is specified on the command, processing starts at the beginning of the next data set. If HERE is specified, processing starts at the checkpoint of the next data set or at its beginning, if no checkpoint exists. If NEXT is specified, processing starts at the beginning of the next non-checkpointed data set. If BEGIN, HERE, and NEXT are omitted, then NEXT is the default.
Note: The interrupted and skipped data set, or both are deleted unless you specified KEEP on the OUTPUT command. - PAUSE
- indicates output operations are to pause after each data set is processed to allow you to enter a SAVE subcommand. Pressing the Enter key after the pause causes normal processing to continue. You can use this operand to override a previous NOPAUSE condition for output.
- NOPAUSE
- indicates output operations are not to be interrupted. You can use this operand to override a previous condition for output.
