The Current Processing
Environment
The current processing environment is the environment from which a command or
NCL procedure is initiated.
Commands issued with the CMD statement are executed in the current processing
environment, and results are returned to the owner of the processing environment, not
to the initiating NCL process.
For example, if an NCL procedure running in an OCS window contains a
CMD "SHOW USERS"
statement, the results of the SHOW USERS command are returned to the OCS
window.
If an NCL procedure submitted to the Background Monitor contains the same
statement, the results of the SHOW USERS command are sent to all users profiled to
receive monitor-class messages.
