LATCP SPAWN — VMS 5.4-3
Creates a subprocess, enabling you to execute DCL commands without
terminating your LATCP session. The LATCP SPAWN command is similar
to the DCL SPAWN command.
To return to your LATCP session, either logout of the subprocess
by entering the DCL LOGOUT command, or use the DCL ATTACH command
to attach your terminal to the process running LATCP.
Format
SPAWN [DCL-command]
Additional information available:
Parameter
DCL-command Specifies a DCL command. If you specify a DCL command, LATCP executes the command in a subprocess. Control returns to LATCP when the DCL command terminates. If you do not specify a DCL command, LATCP creates a subprocess and you can then enter DCL commands. You can continue your LATCP session by logging out of the spawned subprocess or by attaching to the parent process with the DCL ATTACH command.
Example
LATCP> SPAWN
$
The SPAWN command in this example creates a subprocess at DCL
level. You can now enter DCL commands. Log out or enter the DCL
ATTACH command to return to the LATCP prompt.
