COBOL Considerations
program-file
is an alphanumeric operand containing a string value appropriate for the
PROCESS_CREATE_ parameter to which it corresponds.
The compiler implicitly computes and transmits the size, in bytes, of
program-file to the function.
If a string value does not completely fill its operand, the first unused character must
be a blank (space character).
library-file
is an alphanumeric operand containing a string value appropriate for the
PROCESS_CREATE_ parameter to which it corresponds.
The compiler implicitly computes and transmits the size, in bytes, of
library-file to the function.
If a string value does not completely fill its operand, the first unused character must
be a blank (space character).
swap-file
is an alphanumeric operand containing a string value appropriate for the
PROCESS_CREATE_ parameter to which it corresponds.
The compiler implicitly computes and transmits the size, in bytes, of
swap-file to
the function.
If a string value does not completely fill its operand, the first unused character must
be a blank (space character).
ext-swap-file
is an alphanumeric operand containing a string value appropriate for the
PROCESS_CREATE_ parameter to which it corresponds.
The compiler implicitly computes and transmits the size, in bytes, of
ext-
swap-file to the function.
If a string value does not completely fill its operand, the first unused character must
be a blank (space character).
priority
is an actual parameter that evaluates to a numerica1 value appropriate for the
PROCESS_CREATE_ parameter to which it corresponds, such as a
COMPUTATIONAL, DISPLAY, or NATIVE numeric data item, a numeric literal, or
an expression enclosed in parentheses. If the parameter does not mathematically
evaluate to an integer, the compiler changes the result into an integer value.
