1 /INPUT
/INPUT=in-file-spec
Specifies an input command file from which the subprocess is to
draw command input. Once command processing is completed, the
subprocess terminates. When you specify both a command string and
input file, then the command string is first processed and then
the commands from the input file.
2 /LOGICAL_NAMES
/LOGICAL_NAMES (default)
/NOLOGICAL_NAMES
The /LOGICAL_NAMES qualifier specifies that the logical names
of the parent process are to be copied to the subprocess. This
is the default behavior. Specify /NOLOGICAL_NAMES to prevent the
subprocess from inheriting the logical name definitions of its
parent.
3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=out-file-spec
Specifies the output file to which the output of the subprocess
is to be directed. If the /OUTPUT qualifier is omitted, then
subprocess output is directed to the current SYS$OUTPUT device
(generally, your terminal).
4 /PROCESS
/PROCESS=name
Specifies the process name to associate with the subprocess.
If not specified, a default name of the form USERNAME_n, where
"USERNAME" is your username, is used.
5 /SYMBOLS
/SYMBOLS (default)
/NOSYMBOLS
The /SYMBOLS qualifier specifies that the DCL symbol definitions
of the parent process are to be copied to the subprocess. This
is the default behavior. Specify /NOSYMBOLS to prevent the
subprocess from inheriting the symbol definitions of its parent.
6 /WAIT
/WAIT (default)
/NOWAIT
By default, your current (parent) process will wait until the
subprocess has finished its processing and terminated. This
default behavior is explicitly selected with the /WAIT qualifier.
The /NOWAIT qualifier allows you to continue working from your
current process while the subprocess is running. When you specify
/NOWAIT, you should also specify the /OUTPUT qualifier so as to
prevent the subprocess output from appearing on your terminal
screen.
