1 /INPUT
/INPUT=filespec Specifies an input file containing one or more DCL command strings that you want executed by the spawned subprocess. If you specify a command string along with an input file, the command string gets processed before the commands in the input file. When processing is complete, the subprocess terminates.
2 /LOGICAL_NAMES
/LOGICAL_NAMES (default) /NOLOGICAL_NAMES Specifies that the logical names of the parent process are copied to the subprocess. When you do not want the subprocess to use the logical names of the parent process, enter the /NOLOGICAL_NAMES qualifier.
3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=filespec Identifies the output file to which the results of the operation are written. Specify an output other than SYS$OUTPUT whenever you use the /NOWAIT qualifier. This prevents output from being displayed while you are specifying new commands. If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier, output gets written to the current SYS$OUTPUT device.
4 /PROCESS
/PROCESS=subprocess-name Specifies the name of the subprocess that you want to create. The default subprocess name is in the format USERNAME_n.
5 /SYMBOLS
/SYMBOLS (default) /NOSYMBOLS Determines whether the system passes DCL global and local symbols to the subprocess.
6 /WAIT
/WAIT (default) /NOWAIT Controls whether the system waits until the subprocess completes before you can specify more commands. The /NOWAIT qualifier enables you to specify new commands while the specified subprocess is running. If you specify the /NOWAIT qualifier, use the /OUTPUT qualifier to direct the output to a file instead of displaying it on the screen. Doing this prevents your terminal from being used by more than one process simultaneously.
