PAUSE

Abbreviation: None
Command Format: PAUSE
Availability: DialogClassic Web

DialogWeb—Command

The PAUSE command allows you to put your search on hold for 10 minutes at a time, without losing any of your sets or being disconnected from Dialog. You can use the PAUSE command at any point in your search.

While PAUSE is in effect, you can enter HELP commands to check rates or system features, or another PAUSE command if you need more time. When you enter a HELP command during a PAUSE, another 10 minutes is automatically added to your PAUSE time. If you enter any other Dialog command, such as SELECT or TYPE, the PAUSE ends and you are returned to your search.

Connect charges do not accrue while in Pause, but telecommunications costs are charged during Pause.

If you enter PAUSE and do not return to your search or enter another PAUSE command within 10 minutes, you will be logged off the system as a LOGOFF HOLD. This means that you can log back on to Dialog (using the same telecommunications network and the same user number) within 30 minutes of the automated LOGOFF HOLD and retrieve your search. When you are reconnected, enter a DISPLAY SETS (DS) command to review your sets and search strategy, and continue from there.

Note: Do not enter a BEGIN command after being reconnected from a LOGOFF HOLD or you will lose your sets. To review your sets and search strategy, enter DISPLAY SETS (DS).
