- WBRun.doc
-
-
- A RunBack style program which use parm.library. Runs programs
- in WB mode from any CLI. Programs are fully detached. The
- program you run must support WB startup.
-
- Usage:
-
- WBRun Prog [args] [STACK size] [PRI pri] [DELAY sec] [SYNC]
-
- if you type:
-
- WBRun ?
-
- you will get this command template
-
- Prog/A,Args/M,STACK/K/N,PRI/K/N,DELAY/K/N,SYNC/S:
-
- that is to say, Prog must be specified, and other args are optionnal.
-
- Stack will overide icon stack if specified, so use with great care.
- Pri is 0 by default.
- Delay is in seconds. WBRun will wait this delay once prog is loaded
- and run, and can be used to prevent disk trashing in script files.
- When you set the SYNC flag, WBRun will wait for program to finish
- before return. This may be usefull in scripts, especialy in ParM.
-
- Example:
-
- ITEM ADPro RUN Assign ADPRO: Work:ADPro ; WBRun SYNC ADPRO:ADPro ; Assign ADPRO:
-
- This will make it possible to run ADPro in WB mode even with
- commands runned in SHELL mode before and after.
- If you didn't understand, this item creates the ADPRO: assign,
- runs ADPro in WB mode, and then cancels the assign.
-
- WBRun is pure and can be made resident.
-
