Temporarily interrupting REORG

If you specify UNLOAD PAUSE, REORG pauses after unloading the table space into the unload data set. You cannot use NOSYSREC and PAUSE. The job completes with return code 4. You can restart REORG by using the phase restart or current restart. Do not alter the REORG statement.

The REORG utility remains in stopped status until REORG is restarted or terminated.

While REORG is interrupted by PAUSE, you can redefine the table space attributes for user-defined table spaces. PAUSE is not required for STOGROUP-defined table spaces. Attribute changes are done automatically by a REORG following an ALTER TABLESPACE.
