Parameters Examples Error messages |
The End Writer (ENDWTR) command ends the specified spooling writer and makes its associated output device available to the system. The writer can be ended immediately or in a controlled manner. If ended immediately, the writer stops writing the file and the file is made available again on the output queue. If ended in a controlled manner, the writer finishes writing the current file (or a copy of a file), or it finishes printing a page of the file, before it is ended.
