The NCL Process
Identifier
NonStop NET/MASTER MS automatically assigns every NCL procedure a unique
NCL process identifier (NCL ID) when the procedure begins execution.
The NCL ID is used to uniquely identify an NCL process, usually when the NCL
process is to be the target of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command.
NCL procedures executed using the START command are immediately allocated an
NCL ID. NCL procedures executed with the EXEC command or submitted for
execution at a particular time or frequency are allocated an NCL ID when they begin
execution.
Use the SHOW NCL command to display the NCL IDs of NCL processes.
Terminating Execution
of an NCL Process
There are several ways to terminate the execution of an NCL process:
Exit from an OCS window: all NCL processes executing in the OCS window are
terminated.
Log off from NonStop NET/MASTER MS: all NCL processes associated with
your user ID are terminated.
Note Jobs submitted to a background process have the user ID of NonStop NET/MASTER MS and survive
after you log off.
Issue the FLUSH command with the ID operand (use the SHOW NCL command
to determine the NCL ID of the NCL process you want to terminate). Refer to the
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more information about
the FLUSH command.
Viewing the Contents
of NCL Libraries
and Files
You can list and view the contents of an NCL library or a file in two ways:
From Edit Services:
When you enter Edit Services and when you return to the Edit Services Selection
List screen after exiting from TEDIT, the names of files in your user procedure
library are displayed in alphabetic order.
You can display the contents of a particular file by using the S or B option (see
Section 9, “Using Edit Services”).
From OCS, by using NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands:
Use the SHOW FILEINFO command to display the names of files in your user
procedure library (and the names of files in other locations).
Use the LIST command to display the contents of a particular file.
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more
information on the SHOW FILEINFO and LIST commands.
