Slight correction.... For both UD DBPAUSE and UV SUSPEND.FILES ON, as soon as you initiate the command, all WRITES to the DB will stop.
So, that batch process will stop at the next WRITE, and not continue until the process ends! Steve Stephen M.

[not-secure] I thought DBPAUSE allowed running processes to finish but would hold new processes . That's not much of a pause when you think that a process could be running for hours before the system is truly paused. >From the online help: dbpause is a UniData system-level command that blocks most updates to the database made in a UniData session. Any updates made from the operating system level are not blocked. You can use this feature to perform some tasks that normally require UniData to be stopped, such as backing up your data. When the dbpause command is issued, all current writes and transactions complete before UniData pauses. Updates are blocked until the system administrator executes the dbresume command.
