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.
