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.
