TASK
end
indicates the ending character index in each cache element where sort
comparisons between cache elements are to occur. A valid end value is from
1 through 132, where end is greater than or equal to start. For example,
SORTED[10:19] sorts records based on the contents of character positions 10
through 19 of each cache record.
STARTUP string-exp
specifies the startup message to be sent to the newly created process.
SWAP swap-filename
specifies the name of the file used for the page swapping of a process’s virtual
user data space.
TIMEOUT nodata-sec , data-sec
specifies the number of seconds that a SeeView script is to wait for data from the
task.
nodata-sec
specifies the number of seconds that a WINDOW, READ, or WRITE statement
is to wait for initial communication from the task.
data-sec
specifies the number of seconds that a WINDOW statement is to wait for
subsequent messages from the task. (See also the ALTER NODATATIMEOUT
and ALTER DATATIMEOUT statements.)
VOLUME subvol | str-exp
specifies the default volume and subvolume for the task being declared. VOLUME
has meaning only when you are creating the program associated with the taskid.
You can literally specify the volume and subvolume, for example:
VOL $DATA.MYSUBVOL
or you can use a string expression, such as:
VOL #mysubvol
Considerations
•
$CMON Interface: The SeeView program sends a standard $CMON
ProcessCreation^Message to a user-specified $CMON process whenever a
$CMON process exists. (See the Guardian Programmer’s Guide for documentation
regarding this interface). Thus you can write a $CMON to control as well as limit
the number of tasks that the SeeView program creates.
