The following screen shows the results of executing the procedure, passing the SHOW

OCS command to it as a parameter:

(11:03) --------------------- OPERATOR CONTROL SERVICES ----------------------

Since the SHOW OCS command is executed in the current execution environment, the

NCL process does not receive the results of the command. Since the current execution

environment is the primary processing environment associated with the OCS window,

the results are sent to the OCS window for display. Using this NCL procedure to

execute the SHOW OCS command has the same result as entering the SHOW OCS

command from the OCS command input line.

Entering Commands Using

the INTCMD Verb

The INTCMD verb sends the NonStop NET/MASTER MS command that follows it for

execution in the dependent processing environment associated with the NCL process.

The NonStop NET/MASTER MS command and the NCL process are processed

asynchronously.

The results are then made available to the NCL process that executes INTCMD. The

NCL process can either read the results, using the INTREAD verb, or discard the

results, using the INTCLEAR verb. After the NCL process reads the results, it can

send the results to the next higher processing environment by using the INTCONT

verb.

The general syntax of the INTCMD verb is:

INTCMD
