-SPawn

The SPAWN command forks a child process for access to the shell without terminating the current DSE environment. Use the SPAWN command to suspend a session and issue shell commands such as MUPIP INTEG -REGION or GDE. The SPAWN command accepts an optional command string for execution by the spawned sub-process. If the SPAWN has no command string parameter, the created sub-process issues a shell prompt and accepts any legal shell command. To terminate the sub-process, use the shell logout command.

The format of the SPAWN command is:

       
       
       SP[AWN] [shell-command]
       
       

The SPAWN command has no qualifiers.

DSE SPAWN works with an argument. If the argument contains spaces, enclose it with quotes.
