COBOL Considerations
process-descr-bytes
is a NATIVE-2 data item or a COMPUTATIONAL numeric data item described with
one to four 9s preceded by an S; for example:
PICTURE S9(4)
nowait-tag
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.
hometerm
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
hometerm to
the function.
If a string value does not completely fill its operand, the first unused character must
be a blank (space character).
memory-pages
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.
jobid
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.
create-options
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.
