DISABLE (Device)
Usage Notes

1. On a single command line you may combine device numbers, lists of device
numbers, and ranges of device numbers. The beginning and ending device
numbers of a range must both be either real device numbers or both logical
display printer numbers.
2. If the devices you specify on the DISABLE (device) command are not active,
they are disabled immediately. If the devices are active, they are disabled when
the user issues the LOGOFF or DISCONNECT command. A device is active if a
user is logged onto it, or if a user is dialed from it.
3. If you enter the ENABLE (device) command to a device before it is physically
disabled, you reinstate the device’s enabled status and negate previously issued
DISABLE commands directed to the device.
4. The DISABLE (device) command is an ASYNCHRONOUS command. This
means the virtual machine is free to issue other commands before CP finishes
disabling the specified devices. CP issues the “Command complete” response
when it has finished processing the DISABLE (device) command, not when it
has finished disabling all of the specified devices. Thus, one or more devices
may not be completely disabled when you receive the “Command complete”
response.
To display whether the specified real devices (rdev) are disabled, use the
QUERY (Real Device) STATUS command (page 955).To display whether the
specified logical devices (ldev) are disabled, use the QUERY LDEVS command
(page 842).
