PAUSE Command
•
If both param-name and param-value are omitted, all current PARAM values
display.
•
If param-value is omitted, the current PARAM value associated with param-
name displays.
•
The PARAM command supersedes any PARAM specification for the same param-
name that was read at VHSCI startup time.
•
Use the CLEAR command to delete existing PARAM values. Refer to the CLEAR
command description.
•
A new process must request its PARAM message following receipt of the startup
message. The PARAM values read from TACL and the ones set in VHSCI are
passed to the new process.
•
The PARAM values set in VHSCI are lost when you exit from VHSCI.
•
If the Break key is pressed during a VHSCI session and a new PARAM value is set
outside of VHSCI, VHSCI does not receive this PARAM value. VHSCI cannot pass
on the new PARAM value when it creates a process.
•
Another command cannot follow the PARAM command on the same line.
Examples
PAUSE Command
The PAUSE command suspends VHSCI and allows the terminal to be used by another
process. When you invoke a process during a VHSCI session through the RUN
command, you can use the Break key to reactivate VHSCI. Once in VHSCI, you can
use the PAUSE command to allow access to the terminal by the other process.
Consideration
The PAUSE command can be issued only by an interactive user.
REPEAT Command
The REPEAT command causes the remainder of the command line to be repeated for
the number of iterations specified or until the Break key is pressed if none is specified.
