Summary
The NEWPROCESSNOWAIT procedure is used to create a new process in a nowait
manner and, optionally, set a number of process attributes. When a new process is
created, its 4-word process ID is returned to the caller by a system message on the
caller’s $RECEIVE file.
You can use this procedure to create only Guardian processes, although you can call it
from a Guardian process or an OSS process. The program file must contain a
program for execution in the Guardian environment. The program file and any user
library file must reside in the Guardian name space.
DEFINEs for the process context of the creator can be propagated to a new process.
Further, any or all of the filenames given in the
filenames parameter can be DEFINE
names.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be
used for new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with
previous software.
Note. This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
