Using D-Series
Process File Names
Using a D-series process file name, a converted process can identify a high-PIN or low-
PIN process with a name that has up to five characters after the dollar sign (for
example, $ZAB22) on D-series systems in a network.
However, a process on a D-series system follows the C-series process-identification
rules when accessing remote C-series systems: it cannot identify a remote process with
a name that has five characters after the dollar sign on C-series systems in the network.
Figure C-4 shows the use of D-series process file names to identify processes in a
network.
