The Jeppsesen coding I have seen causes the procedure to suspend at the MAPt, whether it be the runway or 4 miles prior to the runway (KTVL as an example). If the pilot intends to land he still has the final approach course available during suspend. It it is an offset course, he has to manually align the airplane with the runway. That's why offset final approach courses intercept the runway center line extended several thousand feet prior to the AER.
