DISCONNECT
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
Parameters
None.
Description
Use the DISCONNECT command to disconnect a physical terminal from a virtual
terminal and its associated process. The virtual terminal and the process remain
on the system, so you can use the CONNECT command to reconnect to the
process later. (For more information about virtual terminals and how to connect
to them, see the description of the CONNECT command.) To terminate a process
connected to a virtual terminal, use the LOGOUT command.
After you are disconnected from a virtual terminal, you can use the physical
terminal to log in again.
You can use the DISCONNECT command only if your physical terminal is
connected to a virtual terminal.
Qualifier
/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.
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
