Releases a process from debugger control without terminating the
    process (kept debugger only).

    Format

      DISCONNECT  process-spec

1  –  Parameters

 process-spec

    Specifies a process currently under debugger control. Use any of
    the following forms:

    [%PROCESS_NAME] process-  The process name, if that name does not
    name                      contain spaces or lowercase characters.
                              The process name can include the
                              asterisk (*)  wildcard character.
    [%PROCESS_NAME]           The process name, if that name contains
    "process-name "           spaces or lowercase characters. You
                              can also use apostrophes (') instead of
                              quotation marks (").
    %PROCESS_PID process_id   The process identifier (PID, a
                              hexadecimal number).
    [%PROCESS_NUMBER]         The number assigned to a process when
    process-number            it comes under debugger control. A
    (or %PROC process-        new number is assigned sequentially,
    number)                   starting with 1, to each process. If
                              a process is terminated with the EXIT
                              or QUIT command, the number can be
                              assigned again during the debugging
                              session. Process numbers appear in a
                              SHOW PROCESS display. Processes are
                              ordered in a circular list so they can
                              be indexed with the built-in symbols
                              %PREVIOUS_PROCESS and %NEXT_PROCESS.
    process-set-name          A symbol defined with the
                              DEFINE/PROCESS_SET command to represent
                              a group of processes.
    %NEXT_PROCESS             The next process after the visible
                              process in the debugger's circular
                              process list.
    %PREVIOUS_PROCESS         The process previous to the visible
                              process in the debugger's circular
                              process list.
    %VISIBLE_PROCESS          The process whose stack, register set,
                              and images are the current context for
                              looking up symbols, register values,
                              routine calls, breakpoints, and so on.

2  –  Description

    (Kept debugger only.) The DISCONNECT command releases a specified
    process from debugger control without terminating the process.
    This is useful if, for example, you have brought a running
    program under debugger control with a CONNECT command and you now
    want to release it without terminating the image. (In contrast,
    when you specify a process with the EXIT or QUIT command, the
    process is terminated.)

                                 CAUTION

       The debugger kernel runs in the same process as the image
       being debugged. If you issue the DISCONNECT command for this
       process, you release your process, but the kernel remains
       activated.

       This activation continues until the program image finishes
       running.

       If you install a new version of the debugger while one or
       more disconnected but activated kernels inhabit user program
       space, you can experience problems with debugger behavior if
       you try to reconnect to one of those kernels.

  DBG> DISCONNECT JONES

      This command releases process JONES from debugger control
      without terminating the process.
