    1.qm.user> SPAWN DIRECTORY/SIZE=ALL A.TXT

      Directory D1:[BOB]

      A.TXT;10    125/126
      A.TXT;9     124/126
      A.TXT;8     124/126

      Total of 3 files, 373/378.
      qm.user> SPAWN PURGE/LOG A.TXT
      %PURGE-I-FILPURG, D1:[BOB]A.TXT;9 deleted (126 blocks)
      %PURGE-I-FILPURG, D1:[BOB]A.TXT;8 deleted (126 blocks)
      %PURGE-I-TOTAL, 2 files deleted (252 blocks)
      qm.user>

      In this example, the SPAWN command is used to obtain a
      directory listing of the files A.TXT, and then to purge back
      old versions of that file. The ability to do this is useful
      when you find that you have insufficient disk quota to create
      and edit a mail message you want to send.

    2.qm.user> SPAWN
         .
         .
         .
      $ LOGOUT
        Process BOB_1 logged out at 23-AUG-2012 12:12:51.42
      qm.user>

      In this example a SPAWN command with no command string is
      issued. This places you into the subprocess where you can issue
      DCL commands and perform other processing. When you are done
      with the subprocess and ready to return to PMDF QM, use the
      LOGOUT or EOJ command.
