Connect:Direct for OpenVMS Run Task Statement
The RUN TASK statement creates a detached OpenVMS process that executes one or more DCL commands or command procedures. The SYSOPTS parameter of the Connect:Direct® for OpenVMS RUN TASK statement identifies the operations that the operating system should perform.
When a IBM® Connect:Direct Process issues a RUN TASK statement, the IBM Connect:Direct Process waits until the OpenVMS process finishes before executing the next IBM Connect:Direct Process step.
You can submit a IBM Connect:Direct Process with a RUN TASK statement from either node.
