/WAIT (default) /NOWAIT Requires that you wait for the subprocess to terminate before you enter another DCL command. The /NOWAIT qualifier allows you to enter new commands while the subprocess is running. (Use the /OUTPUT qualifier with the /NOWAIT qualifier to avoid displaying both parent and subprocess output on the terminal simultaneously.) Note that specifying the /NOWAIT qualifier causes both input and output to be shared with the parent process. If the input device is a terminal, control characters, such as CTRL/T or CTRL/Y, also affect all subprocesses sharing the input device. The CTRL/Y control character, for example, interrupts all such subprocesses. This problem may be avoided by specifying /INPUT=NL:.
