You can click the first item, scroll and shift-click the last item, then under the Status menu, pick Suspend or whatever.
Notice that in Windchill each line gets its own check box, with a master checkbox to select/deselect all of them and a separate place to chose the action, so that it is obvious this can happen. The difference between the products is because there is no UI group to look over common functions, like selecting items on lists, to make the same functions work the same way; preferably an obvious way.
