Selects a process to become the SDA current process.
Format
SET PROCESS {/ADDRESS=pcb-address | process-name | /ID=nn
| /INDEX=nn | /NEXT | /SYSTEM}
1 – Parameter
process-name
Name of the process to become the SDA current process. The
process-name can contain up to 15 uppercase letters, numerals,
the underscore (_), dollar sign ($), colon (:), and some other
printable characters. If it contains any other characters
(including lowercase letters), you may need to enclose the
process-name in quotation marks (" ").
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ADDRESS
/ADDRESS = pcb-address
Specifies the process control block (PCB) address of a process in
order to display information about the process.
2.2 /ID
/ID=nn
See the description of /INDEX, which is functionally equivalent
to /ID.
2.3 /INDEX
/INDEX=nn
Specifies the process for which information is to be displayed
either by its index into the system's list of software process
control blocks (PCBs), or by its process identification. /ID and
/INDEX are functionally equivalent. You can supply the following
values for nn:
o The process index itself.
o The process identification (PID) or extended PID longword,
from which SDA extracts the correct index. The PID or extended
PID of any thread of a process with multiple kernel threads
may be specified. Any thread-specific data displayed by
further commands will be for the given thread.
To obtain these values for any given process, issue the SDA
command SHOW SUMMARY/THREADS. The /ID=nn and /INDEX=nn qualifiers
can be used interchangeably.
2.4 /NEXT
Causes SDA to locate the next valid process in the process list
and select that process. If there are no further valid processes
in the process list, SDA returns an error.
2.5 /SYSTEM
Specifies the new current process by the system process control
block (PCB). The system PCB and process header (PHD) parallel the
data structures that describe processes. They contain the system
working set list, global section table, and other systemwide
data.
