Summary
The PROCESS_SUSPEND_ procedure places a process or process pair into the suspended state,
preventing that process from being active (that is, from executing instructions). A process can also
be suspended by a call to the SUSPENDPROCESS procedure, or by a TACL SUSPEND command.
The process or process pair can be reactivated by a subsequent call to PROCESS_ACTIVATE_ or
ACTIVATEPROCESS or by a TACL ACTIVATE command.
