JES2 treats all internal readers as a single facility, therefore holding one internal reader places all internal readers in hold. This is particularly troublesome when the central operator holds the internal readers and TSO/E users want to submit jobs.You can avoid this problem by:

1. Assigning a specific job class for all jobs submitted through a particular internal reader. Instead of holding the internal reader, you can hold the class by using either a JES2 initialization statement or a JES2 $T JOBCLASS(x),QHELD=YES command.
2. Use the TYPRUN=HOLD parameter or TYPRUN=JCLHOLD parameter on the JOB statement.
3. Submitting the job through an internal reader and individually hold it with the JES2 $H J command.
