1  DISCONNECT
   Breaks the connection between a physical terminal and a virtual
   terminal. After the physical terminal is disconnected, both the
   virtual terminal and the process using it remain on the system.

   Requires that your physical terminal is connected to a virtual
   terminal.

   Format

     DISCONNECT
 

2  Qualifier
 

/CONTINUE

      /CONTINUE
      /NOCONTINUE (default)

   Controls whether the CONTINUE command is executed in the current
   process just before connecting to another process. This procedure
   permits an interrupted image to continue processing after the
   disconnection until the process needs terminal input or attempts
   to write to the terminal. At that point, the process waits until
   the physical terminal is reconnected to the virtual terminal.
 

2  Examples

   1.$ DISCONNECT

     This command disconnects a physical terminal from a virtual
     terminal, but does not log the process out. Now you can use the
     physical terminal to log in again.

   2.$ RUN PAYROLL
<Ctrl/Y>

     $ DISCONNECT/CONTINUE
 

     In this example, the RUN command is entered from a physical
     terminal that is connected to a virtual terminal. After the
     image PAYROLL.EXE is interrupted, the DISCONNECT command
     disconnects the physical and the virtual terminals without
     logging out the process. The /CONTINUE qualifier allows the
     image PAYROLL.EXE to continue to execute until the process
     needs terminal input or attempts to write to the terminal. At
     that point, the process waits until the physical terminal is
     reconnected to the virtual terminal; however, you can use the
     physical terminal to log in again and perform other work.
