The ATTACH command transfers control to the specified process.

 Format:

 	ATTACH [process-name] [/qualifiers]

1  –  Parameters

 The command has one optional parameter.

 process-name

 	Specifies the name of a parent process or spawned sub-process
 	to which control passes. The process must already exist, must
 	be part of your current job, and must share the same input
 	stream as your current process. However, the process cannot be
 	your current process or a sub-process created with the SPAWN
 	command using the /NOWAIT qualifier.

 	Process names can contain from 1 to 15 alphanumeric
 	characters. If a connection to the specified process cannot be
 	made, an error message is displayed.

 	You may not specify a process name if you specify either the
 	/IDENTIFICATION	or /PARENT qualifier.

2  –  Command qualifiers

 The command has the following qualifiers:

  /IDENTIFICATION   /PARENT

3    /IDENTIFICATION

  /IDENTIFICATION=PID

 	Specifies the process identification of the process to which
 	control is to be transferred.

 	If you use this qualifier, you cannot specify either the
 	/PARENT qualifier or the process-name parameter.

4    /PARENT

  /PARENT

 	This is only valid if used from a sub-process. It specifies
 	that control is to be returned to the parent process.

 	If you use this qualifier, you cannot specify either the
 	/IDENTIFICATION qualifier or the process-name parameter.
