How to get PID in QUICK /OpenVMS

[Kevin Wong]

Dear Chris,

You're right, I want to update the process name to reflect the program name,
the lib$getjpi function is to get a unique name.

Thanks to all others that suggest run DCL before the quick screen, I already
use that method with the first screen, but it's just not possible to run
every subscreen by using a DCL command because lots of parameter needs to be
pass btw diff screen.

Thanks again
Kevin Wong
