Stopping EREP Record Retrieval
Some tasks require you to stop EREP record retrieval. For example, before you can process records stored on the EREP virtual machine's A disk or check how full the A disk is, you must stop retrieval.
To stop EREP record retrieval:
- If necessary, disconnect from the operator's virtual machine by
entering:
disconnect
- Log on the EREP virtual machine.
- Stop EREP retrieval by entering:
In response, you receive a prompt:#cp external
Enter:HCPRET592A ENTER END OR SUMMARY
This stops the retrieval of EREP information. CP continues to store new EREP records in real storage until you resume EREP record retrieval.end
Note: If you enter SUMMARY instead of END, CP displays the number of EREP records that have been retrieved since the last RETRIEVE command, and retrieval continues. To stop retrieval, you must enter the #CP EXTERNAL command again and respond to the prompt with END.
