PXMCOM Commands

RUN PROGRAM
NOWAIT
causes the program to execute concurrently with PXMCOM, so that the PXMCOM
prompt returns immediately to your screen. To use the NOWAIT option, you must
specify a terminal that is different from the terminal on which you give the RUN
PROGRAM command.
If you do not specify this option, the PXMCOM prompt does not return to your
screen until after the program has completed running.
Considerations
•
If a RUN PROGRAM command is issued from a T16-6530 terminal and no
PROGRAM template is defined for that terminal type, but a PROGRAM object is
defined for a T16-6520 terminal, the TCP process executes the PROGRAM object
as if it were defined for a 6520 terminal. The features that are unique to the T16-
6530 terminal, however, do not function.
•
The PATHMON process supports subtype 30 processes that function as devices
managed by PROGRAM objects. Subtype 30 processes are nonprivileged processes
that emulate terminals and communication devices. Because the PATHMON
process determines the device type by directly polling the emulator process, you do
not have to specify a value for the RUN PROGRAM TYPE parameter.
Examples
The following command starts the PROGRAM PROG-1:
RUN PROGRAM PROG-1
The following command directs a copy of the screen image to the printer that is attached
to the terminal:
RUN PROGRAM PROG-2,PRINTER IS-ATTACHED
The following command directs a copy of the screen image to an unattached printer:
RUN PROG-3,PRINTER $LP
The following command directs the SALES program to run under control of process
$FE.#TERMA, which emulates a T16-6530 terminal:
RUN SALES, FILE $FE.#TERMA, TYPE T16-6530
The following command allows the SALES program to run from an intelligent device
using the WRITEREAD protocol:
RUN SALES, TYPE INTELLIGENT
