dcl-command

    Specifies a DCL command. If you specify the dcl-command
    parameter, a subprocess is created which executes the specified
    DCL command. Control is returned to the PCA session when the DCL
    command terminates.

    If you omit the dcl-command parameter, the SPAWN command creates
    a subprocess and attaches the terminal to that process. You can
    then enter DCL commands at the terminal. When you log out of the
    subprocess or attach back to the parent process, you can continue
    your PCA session.

    If the DCL command you specify includes a semicolon, you must
    enclose the command in quotation marks. Otherwise, the semicolon
    can be mistaken for a PCA command separator. To include a
    quotation mark inside the string, enter two consecutive quotation
    marks.
