1 /CARRIAGE_CONTROL
/CARRIAGE_CONTROL /NOCARRIAGE_CONTROL Determines whether carriage control characters or line feed characters, or both are prefixed to the DCL-prompt string of the subprocess. The default is the current setting of the parent process.
2 /CLI
/CLI[=cli] /NOCLI Specifies an alternate command language interpreter (CLI) for the subprocess to use. The default is the CLI the parent process uses. The CLI you specify must be located in SYS$SYSTEM and have the file type .EXE.
3 /INPUT
/INPUT=file-specification Specifies an input file containing one or more commands for the spawned subprocess to execute. If you specify a command with an input file, the command is processed before the commands in the input file. The subprocess terminates when processing is complete. You cannot use wildcards in the file specification.
4 /KEYPAD
/KEYPAD (D) /NOKEYPAD Determines whether DCL keypad symbols and the current DCL keypad state are copied from the parent process to the subprocess. Use the /NOKEYPAD qualifier if you do not want the key settings to be copied.
5 /LOGICAL_NAMES
/LOGICAL_NAMES (D) /NOLOGICAL_NAMES Determines whether the system passes process logical names and logical name tables to the subprocess, except those marked CONFINE or those created in executive or kernel mode.
6 /NOTIFY
/NOTIFY /NONOTIFY (D) Determines whether a message is sent to your terminal to notify you that your subprocess has been completed or aborted. You must specify the /NOWAIT qualifier with the /NOTIFY qualifier.
7 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=file-specification Specifies the output file to which the output of the SPAWN operation is to be written. If you specify the /NOWAIT qualifier, use the /OUTPUT qualifier to specify an output other than SYS$OUTPUT to prevent your terminal from being used by both processes simultaneously. The default is to direct output to the current SYS$OUTPUT device.
8 /PROCESS
/PROCESS=subprocess-name Specifies the name of the subprocess to be created. The default name for the subprocess is USERNAME_n (where n denotes a unique number).
9 /PROMPT
/PROMPT[=string] Specifies the prompt string for the subprocess. If you specify the /PROMPT qualifier but do not specify a string, the default prompt is displayed. The default is to copy the current prompt string from the parent process.
10 /SYMBOLS
/SYMBOLS (D) /NOSYMBOLS Determines whether the system passes DCL global and local symbols to the subprocess.
11 /WAIT
/WAIT (D) /NOWAIT Controls whether the system waits until the subprocess is completed before allowing more commands to be issued by the parent process. The /NOWAIT qualifier enables you to enter more commands while the specified subprocess is running. If you specify the /NOWAIT qualifier, you should also specify /OUTPUT to direct output to a file (rather than to the screen). This prevents your terminal from being used by both processes simultaneously.
