Start a task immediately.
START ATTACH starts a non-terminal task immediately in the local CICS® region.
The attached task has a STARTCODE of U and cannot be canceled, so EIBREQID is set to nulls.
ATTACH allows a START issued in a PLTPI program to take effect before initialization completes.
The starting task can pass data to the started task by using the FROM option.
START ATTACH does not propagate the origin data record (ODR), so tasks are always started at a new point of origin
If data is to be passed, it is not written to a temporary storage queue; only its address is passed.
The attached task retrieves data in the normal way. The task that issued the START must ensure that the data is valid when it is retrieved, either by synchronizing its execution with the attached task, or by placing the data in shared storage.
