- I have a program that needs the use of $CREPRC to create a subprocess.
- I think LIB$SPAWN is great, but I cannot alter quotas with it.
-
- My problem lies in preserving symbols and/or logicals.
- Is there any way (with normal privileges) that I can pass information to
- this subprocess (I need to give it a stream about 80 characters long), without
- resorting to files, mailboxes, and such? It appears to me (I am not an expert)
- that LIB$SPAWN copies the symbol and logical tables over by default. Can I
- do that with $CREPRC, too?
-
- Thanks,
- Bill
