<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="Garamond"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond; color: blue;">You’re correct
the run command fires off a subprocess which stays alive until the user exits
their powerhouse session. Most of the users process information is available in
the subprocess with some caveats like process logicals,…. VMS handles it
beautifully and quite easily and you can pass and share some things between the
users process and subprocess. Performance may have more to do with the machine
that vms is running on or how it’s configured or how/what you’re
trying to do.</span></font></p>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Can anyone (25 words or less) explain to me how
OpenVMS handles the invocation of an OS RUN command from within PH Quick? My
understanding is that, say, Quick Program "A" performs a Run
Command "B" statement which would open (spawn) a new session and
perform whatever that "B: program is supossed to do. If "B"
opened files, database, transmitted data, etc. it could only do so
within 'it"s own' session/spawned process? Or am I missing
something big here? I am not VMS internals kinda guy, but.....from a
logical viewpoint. I'm a performance concerend individual.</span></font></p>
