/HOLD
/NOHOLD (default)
When the event facility is THREADS, use the
PTHREAD tset -h thread-number or the PTHREAD tset -n thread-num
command.
Controls whether a specified task is put on hold. The /HOLD
qualifier puts a specified task on hold.
Putting a task on hold prevents a task from entering the RUNNING
state. A task put on hold is allowed to make other state
transitions; in particular, it can change from the SUSPENDED
to the READY state.
Putting a task on hold prevents a task from entering the RUNNING
state. A task put on hold is allowed to make other state
transitions; in particular, it can change from the SUSPENDED
to the READY state.
A task already in the RUNNING state (the active task) can
continue to execute as long as it remains in the RUNNING state,
even though it is put on hold. If the task leaves the RUNNING
state for any reason (including expiration of a time slice, if
time slicing is enabled), it will not return to the RUNNING state
until released from the hold condition.
You can override the hold condition and force a task into the
RUNNING state with the SET TASK/ACTIVE command even if the task
is on hold.
The /NOHOLD qualifier releases a specified task from hold.
