Creates processes and changes their state and characteristics.
The extended variant of DCL "RUN" and "SET PROCESS" commands.
Format
PROCESS process-name qualifiers
PROCESS can create subprocesses, detached, interactive, network
and batch processes. It can automatically create temporary
mailboxes for the created process's SYS$INPUT and SYS$OUTPUT
for inter-process communication.
Some environmental differences in different modes are present,
but the main ones can be worked around by executing CREPRC.COM
first in the created process.
PROCESS can change the running process's state and characteristics,
exit the currently executing image, stop the process and
synchronize to it's termination.
PROCESS can communicate with the running process via SYS$INPUT
and SYS$OUTPUT mailboxes.
PROCESS fills in the local DCL variables $PID and $IMAGE
with the PID and image name of the process created/affected
by the command.
For more information on qualifiers see the corresponding ones
in RUN and SET PROCESS commands help.
