1 XQT XQT is designed to simulate (within the limitations imposed by VMS) the .XQT and multi-tasking features of RSX-11M. There are times when issuing a single immediate mode command would lock up an interactive terminal for a long time. This command procedure is designed to be used to submit single line DCL or MCR commands for BATCH processing. It is designed to be used as a Foreign command ie. XQT:==@SYS$SYSDISK[SYSMGR.CMDFIL]XQT Once set as a foreign command,one but need issue a command of the form XQT cmd_line If there is no command line present, XQT will prompt for a single command (which must be less than about 80 characters to satisfy passing parameters on the SUBMIT command. XQT will then submit itself with for BATCH processing with the decoded parameters passed to BATCH. It can do this because it follows different paths depending on whether or not the user is logged on to BATCH or an interactive terminal. Finally, the procedure passes back a message to the user who submitted the command that the process is done. No log file will be spooled, but XQT.LOG will be sitting on the user's directory for examination.
