Summary
NOTE: This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
The PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure creates a new process and, optionally, assigns a number of
process attributes.
You can use this procedure to create only 32-bit Guardian processes, although you can call it from
a Guardian process, a 32-bit OSS process or a 64-bit OSS process. The program file must contain
a program for execution in the Guardian environment. The program file and user library file must
reside in the Guardian name space; that is, they must not be OSS files.
You can specify that the new process be created in either a waited or nowait manner. When it is
created in a waited manner, identification for the new process is returned directly to the caller.
When it is created in a nowait manner, its identification is returned in a system message sent to
the caller's $RECEIVE file.
DEFINEs can be propagated to the new process. The DEFINEs can come from the caller's context
or from a buffer of DEFINEs saved by the DEFINESAVE procedure.
Any of the file-name parameters can contain DEFINE names.
