exists, an error message is displayed. This qualifier is used with either the /DETACH or the /NODETACH qualifier. /PROMPT /PROMPT=prompt Specifies the prompt string of the created terminal window. This qualifier is used only with the /NODETACH qualifier. /READSYNC /READSYNC /NOREADSYNC Sets or clears the READSYNC terminal characteristic in the created terminal window. The default is to inherit the characteristic from the parent. /RESOURCE_FILE /RESOURCE_FILE=filespec Specifies that the created terminal window use the resource file "filespec" instead of the default resource file, DECW$USER_ DEFAULTS:DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT. /SYMBOLS /SYMBOLS (default) /NOSYMBOLS Determines whether the subprocess inherits the parent's DCL symbols. This qualifier is used only with the /NODETACH qualifier. /TABLE /TABLE=command-table Specifies the name of an alternate command table to be used by the subprocess. This qualifier is used only with the /NODETACH qualifier. /TTSYNC /TTSYNC /NOTTSYNC Sets or clears the TTSYNC terminal characteristic in the created terminal window; the default is to inherit the characteristic of the parent. /TYPE_AHEAD /TYPE_AHEAD /NOTYPE_AHEAD Sets or clears the TYPE_AHEAD terminal characteristic in the created terminal window. The default is to inherit the characteristic of the parent. /WAIT /WAIT /NOWAIT (default) Requires that you wait for the subprocess to terminate before you enter another DCL command. The /NOWAIT qualifier allows you to enter new commands while the subprocess is running. This qualifier is used only with the /NODETACH qualifier. /WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES /WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=(parameter [,...]) Specifies initial attributes for the created terminal window to override the defaults read from the resource file. These parameters include: Parameter Description BACKGROUND The background color. FOREGROUND The foreground color. WIDTH The width, in pixels. HEIGHT The height, in pixels. X_POSITION The x-position, in pixels. Y_POSITION The y-position, in pixels. ROWS The number of rows in the window, in character cells. If the Auto Resize Window option is enabled, the ROWS and COLUMNS parameters override the size specified by the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters. COLUMNS The number of columns in the window, in character cells. If the Auto Resize Window option is enabled, the ROWS and COLUMNS parameters override the size specified by the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters. INITIAL_STATE The initial state of the window, either ICON or WINDOW. TITLE A character string specifying the window title. ICON_NAME A character string specifying the window icon name. FONT The name of the font to be used in the window. If you specify the /LITTLE_FONT qualifier, or omit both the /LITTLE_FONT and /BIG_FONT qualifiers, this overrides the name of the little font that is set in the resource files; otherwise it overrides the name of the big font. The font name can be a logical name, and it can be (but does not have to be) the base font in a complete font set. 3 Examples 1.$ CREATE/TERMINAL=DECTERM/DETACH - _$ /DISPLAY=MYNODE::0 - _$ /WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=( - _$ ROWS=36, - _$ COLUMNS=80, - _$ TITLE="REMOTE TERMINAL", - _$ ICON_NAME="REMOTE TERMINAL" ) In this example, the command creates a detached process in a DECterm window on node MYNODE:: that is 36 rows by 80 columns and has its title and icon name set to "Remote terminal". 2.$ CREATE/TERMINAL=DECTERM - $_ /NOPROCESS - $_ /DEFINE_LOGICAL=(TABLE=LNM$GROUP,DBG$INPUT,DBG$OUTPUT) In this example, the command creates a DECterm with no associated process. The command defines DBG$INPUT and DBG$OUTPUT in the group table as the new terminal for the purposes of debugging a problem with a detached process that is subsequently created.
