Creates a subprocess, enabling you to execute DCL commands
    without terminating your LATCP session. The LATCP SPAWN command
    is similar to the DCL SPAWN command.

    To return to your LATCP session, either log out of the subprocess
    by entering the DCL LOGOUT command, or use the DCL ATTACH command
    to attach your terminal to the process running LATCP.

    Format

      SPAWN  [DCL-command]

1  –  Parameter

 DCL-command

    Specifies a DCL command. If you specify a DCL command, LATCP
    executes the command in a subprocess. Control returns to LATCP
    when the DCL command terminates.

    If you do not specify a DCL command, LATCP creates a subprocess
    and you can then enter DCL commands. You can continue your LATCP
    session by logging out of the spawned subprocess or by attaching
    to the parent process with the DCL ATTACH command.

2  –  Example

  LATCP> SPAWN
  $

      The SPAWN command in this example creates a subprocess at DCL
      level. You can now enter DCL commands. Log out or enter the DCL
      ATTACH command to return to the LATCP prompt.
