Inline Command Execution

If an OCS operator enters:

START    PROC1

from the OCS window command line, the process PROC1 starts running.

If the process then executes the command:

SHOW  USERS

the results of the command (the answer) flow to the OCS window. The process itself never has access to the messages generated as a result of the command. Consequently the procedure cannot make any decisions based on the results of the command.

The execution of a command by a process in this example is called inline command execution.
