PCA Command

    Passes control of your terminal from your current process to
    another process.

    Format

      ATTACH  process-name

1  –  Parameters

 process-name

    Specifies an existing process to which you want to attach the
    terminal. If the process name includes spaces, enclose the name
    in quotation marks.

2  –  Description

    The ATTACH command allows you to connect your terminal to another
    process. Using the ATTACH command, you can switch control back
    and forth between several different active processes. To create
    additional processes, use the SPAWN command from within PCA or at
    DCL level.

3  –  Examples

  PCAC> SPAWN            ! Spawn subprocess NICK_1
  $ TYPE FOO.DAT         ! Enter DCL commands in subprocess
  text line in foo.dat
  $ ATTACH NICK          ! Attach to original process
  %PCA-I-RETURNED, control returned to process NICK
  PCAC> SHOW LANGUAGE    ! Enter Collector commands
  Language: PASCAL
  PCAC> ATTACH NICK_1    ! Attach back to subprocess
  %PCA-I-ATTACHED, terminal now attached to process NICK_1
  $

      In this example, a subprocess is created with the Collector
      SPAWN command. DCL commands are executed in the subprocess.
      An ATTACH command at DCL level reattaches the terminal to
      the Collector session. The Collector session continues with
      additional Collector commands until a Collector ATTACH command
      is entered. This ATTACH command connects the terminal to the
      subprocess again so that more DCL commands can be entered.
