change process command with the release
parameter.
hold=no Wait (if no other
parameters are
specified)
The default for hold is no.

remote node starts a session with the local node
or another Process starts a session with that

Each Process in the TCQ has an associated status value. Each status value has a
unique meaning that is affected by the logical queue in which the Process is
placed. Status values for each queue are shown in the tables in the following
sections. You can use the select process command to examine that status of
Processes in the TCQ. For example, the following command displays all Processes
in the TCQ with execution status:
select process status=EX;
Progression of a Process Through the TCQ
This section describes each logical queue of the TCQ and the progression of a
Process through these queues. The following figure illustrates the four logical
queues and their associated parameter values:
