If a spooled file is on hold, it can't print. Even if the printer file specifies hold, that can be overridden.

Good morning.

Using the CHGPRTF command is there a parameter or multiple parameters that can be set to prevent a spool file from printing?

Currently the spool file in question is on Hold and Saved. However the file prints at the completion of the job and upon availability of the print que.

What I want to do is stop the file from printing.
