PROCESS_CREATE_ Procedure

(Superseded by PROCESS_LAUNCH_ Procedure )

The default value is 0.

If you specify

create-options.<9> = 1, the process deletion message (in the

event that the created process terminates) is sent to any process that has the

calling process’s name at that time, regardless of the sequence number. If you

specify

create-options.<9> = 0, the process deletion message is sent only to

the instance of the process or process pair to which the calling process belongs.

An “instance” is any process in an unbroken chain of primary and backup

processes. Every process that is part of an instance has the same sequence

number.

If you specify

create-options.<15> = 1 (requires low PIN), the program is run

at a low PIN. If you specify

create-options.<15> = 0 (can be assigned any

PIN), the program runs at a PIN of 256 or higher if its program file and library file (if

any) have the HIGHPIN program-file flag set and if a high PIN is available.

However, if the calling process has the inherited force-low attribute set and you

specify “can run at any PIN,” the new process is forced into a low PIN even if all of

the other conditions for running at a high PIN are met. See “Compatibility

Considerations” and “DEFINE Considerations” for more information.

defines:length input:input

STRING .EXT:ref:*, INT:value

if supplied and if

length is not 0, specifies a set of DEFINEs to be propagated to

the new process. The value of

defines must be exactly length bytes long. The

set of DEFINEs should have been created through one or more calls to

DEFINESAVE. For all cases except backup creation, DEFINEs are propagated

according to the values specified in

create-options. See “DEFINE

Considerations” for details.

When a process creates its backup, all of the caller’s DEFINEs are propagated

regardless of

create-option. If defines is specified, it is ignored.

DEFINEs enabled (ignored if bit 13 is 0).

<15> =

Can run at any PIN.

Requires low PIN (in range 0 through 254).
