/WAIT (default)
/NOWAIT
Requires that you wait for the subprocess to terminate before
you enter another DCL command. The /NOWAIT qualifier allows
you to enter new commands while the subprocess is running.
(Use the /OUTPUT qualifier with the /NOWAIT qualifier to avoid
displaying both parent and subprocess output on the terminal
simultaneously.)
Note that specifying the /NOWAIT qualifier causes both input and
output to be shared with the parent process. If the input device
is a terminal, control characters, such as Ctrl/T or Ctrl/Y,
also affect all subprocesses sharing the input device. The Ctrl/Y
control character, for example, interrupts all such subprocesses.
This problem may be avoided by specifying /INPUT=NL:.
