VALPROC2 The VALPROC2 built-in function determines whether a supplied string is a valid
Guardian process name in the specified system. If so VALPROC2 returns 1; otherwise,
it returns 0 (zero).
VALPROC2( process-spec )
process-spec
specifies the process name. The supplied process name must be formatted as
follows:
[ \ systemname . ]$ processname [ .# qualifier1 [ . qualifier2 ] ]
In the preceding format, systemname and qualifier1 can contain up to seven
characters, processname can contain up to five characters, and qualifier2 can
contain up to eight characters. The first character of each component must be
alphabetic, and the remainder must be alphanumeric.

If the system name is omitted, the name of the local system is used.
process-spec can contain up to 33 characters.
See also VALPROC1, which determines whether a supplied string is a valid
