Controlling NCL Process Execution
Executing NCL Procedures

To use the GO command to restart a specific NCL process follow these steps:
1. Use the SHOW PAUSE command to display information about the NCL processes
that are currently paused, for example:
SHOW PAUSE=ALL
2. Examine the screen display to determine the NCL ID of the NCL process you want
to restart.
3. Use the GO command with the ID operand to specify the NCL ID of the NCL
process you want to restart, for example:
GO ID=3007
The GO and SHOW PAUSE commands are discussed in more detail in Section 13,
“Interaction With Users and Terminals.”
Controlling the Number of
NCL Processes
The number of NCL processes that can execute simultaneously in a region is 128 by
default. This means that you can execute up to 128 NCL procedures using the START
command or 127 NCL procedures with the START command if you also execute one
or more NCL procedures using the EXEC command. (Recall that NCL procedures
executed by using the EXEC command are executed in order of execution.)
You can control the number of NCL processes that execute in a region by using the
SYSPARMS NCLUMAX command.
Note The SYSPARMS NCLMAXK command sets the maximum amount of virtual storage allocated to
processing NCL processes at any time. This means that the number of NCL processes that can execute
at the same time may be restricted by the value of the SYSPARMS NCLMAXK command.
