Connects your physical terminal to a virtual terminal that is
   connected to another process.

   You must connect to a virtual terminal that is connected to
   a process with your user identification code (UIC). No other
   physical terminals may be connected to the virtual terminal.

   Format

     CONNECT  virtual-terminal-name

PARAMETERQUALIFIERS

Examples

virtual-terminal-name
   Specifies the name of the virtual terminal to which you are
   connecting. A virtual terminal name always begins with the
   letters VTA. To determine the name of the virtual terminal that is
   connected to a process, enter the SHOW USERS command.

Additional information available:

/CONTINUE/LOGOUT

      /CONTINUE
      /NOCONTINUE (default)

   Controls whether the CONTINUE command is executed in the current
   process just before connecting to another process. This qualifier
   allows an interrupted image to continue processing after you
   connect to another process.

   The /CONTINUE qualifier is incompatible with the /LOGOUT
   qualifier.

      /LOGOUT (default)
      /NOLOGOUT

   Logs out your current process when you connect to another process
   using a virtual terminal.

   When you enter the CONNECT command from a process that is not
   connected to a virtual terminal, you must specify the /LOGOUT
   qualifier. Otherwise, DCL displays an error message.

   The /LOGOUT qualifier is incompatible with the /CONTINUE
   qualifier.

   1.  $ RUN AVERAGE
<Ctrl/Y>

       $ CONNECT/CONTINUE VTA72

     In this example, you use the RUN command to execute the image
     AVERAGE.EXE. You enter this command from a terminal that is
     connected to a virtual terminal. Next, you press Ctrl/Y to
     interrupt the image. After you interrupt the image, enter the
     CONNECT command with the /CONTINUE qualifier. This operation
     issues the CONTINUE command, so the image continues to run and
     connects you to another virtual terminal. You can reconnect to
     the process later.

   2.  $ SHOW USERS
                 VMS Interactive Users

     This example shows how to reconnect to your original process
     after you have lost the carrier signal. First, you must log
     in again and create a new process. After you log in, enter the
     SHOW USERS command to determine the virtual terminal name for
     your initial process. Then enter the CONNECT command to connect
     to the virtual terminal associated with your original process.
     The process from which you enter the CONNECT command is logged
     out because you have not specified any qualifiers.

     When you reconnect to the original process, you continue
     running the image that you were running when you lost the
     carrier signal. In this example, the user DUFAY was at
     interactive level when the connection was broken.
