POUT Command
In the READY column, YES is displayed if the process is running and ready to accept 
commands; if not, NO is displayed. In the WAIT column, YES is displayed if the 
default command mode is WAIT; if the mode is NOWAIT, NO is displayed.
The HISTORY and PROMPT columns display YES if these options are enabled and 
NO, if they are not enabled.
POUT Command
The POUT command displays accumulated output from a defined process. Output is 
removed from the output queue as it is being displayed.  You can use POUT to view 
output text after issuing a NOWAIT command, or after pressing the BREAK key during 
output.  
out-option
is any of the following options:
OUT file-name
names the file to which the output should be directed. If the file does not exist, 
it is created.
OUTV variable
names an existing variable to which the output should be directed.
process-list
is a list of unique, symbolic names you have assigned to defined processes. If you 
specify an asterisk (*), information for all your defined processes is displayed.
