Interrupting an operation

The status of an active operation can be set to I (interrupted) automatically if it is active on a workstation that has the splittable attribute. A computer workstation never has this attribute. You might want to interrupt job setup, for example, if you are half-way through editing a job when you have to break for a meeting.

When you interrupt the operation, the resources that the operation uses are freed. While the operation is in interrupted status, its duration is not incremented. There is no limit to the number of times that an operation can be started and interrupted.

If the status of an operation is not S (started), use the MCP panel to set the status to interrupted. For details, see the MODIFYING OPERATIONS IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel shown in EQQMOPRL - Modifying operations in the current plan (left part).
