Command Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/CONTINUE
/CONTINUE /NOCONTINUE (default) Controls whether the CONTINUE command is executed in the current process just before connecting to another process. This allows an interrupted image to continue processing after you connect to another process.
Examples
1. $ DISCONNECT
This command disconnects a physical terminal from a virtual
terminal, but does not log the process out. The physical terminal
can now be used to log in again.
2. $ RUN PAYROLL
^Y
$ DISCONNECT/CONTINUE
In this example, the RUN command is issued from a physical terminal
that is connected to a virtual terminal. After the image
PAYROLL.EXE is interrupted, the DISCONNECT command disconnects the
physical and the virtual terminals without logging the process out.
The /CONTINUE qualifier allows the image PAYROLL.EXE to continue to
execute. However, the terminal can be used to log in again and
perform other work.
