Using logical processing RRESUME and RSUSPEND commands The print suppression logical processing function permits you to delete from printing groups of records that are distinguishable at the start and end, but whose intermediate records may not be unique or distinguishable. Print suppression and resumption are invoked by the use of two separate commands: RSUSPEND and RRESUME. The tests for each command are independent and must be described separately. Each of the commands can specify the full range of tests as described previously for the other logical processing commands. When specifying either the RSUSPEND or RRESUME command, you can also specify whether suspension or resumption of printing occurs on the current or next record. This is controlled by the BEGIN parameter. This additional control provides the necessary flexibility to cope with the variability of requirements for print suppression. The BEGIN parameter can be specified independently in both the RSUSPEND and the RRESUME commands. RSUSPEND and RRESUME command parameters The following table summarizes the parameters for the RSUSPEND and the RRESUME commands. Table 3-36. Summary of RSUSPEND and RRESUME command parameters Parameter Specifies BEGIN Indicates with which record the print suspension (RSUSPEND) or resumption (RRESUME) begins. TEST Defines a test expression for the records at which to suspend and resume printing. Online Offline DJDE Y Y N Y Y N The following sections describe the syntax of the RSUSPEND and RRESUME command parameters and explain their options. RSUSPEND and RRESUME BEGIN Specifies whether printing will be suspended starting with the current record or with the following one.
