I just thought that I'd post the results of my testing. If you'll recall I was trying to launch a program as a PHANTOM from the O/S command line and it was not returning to the command line until that process had completed (which could be several minutes in the case of one program). With further experimentation I have discovered that if I run a program that itself spawns the phantom, everything works as expected. Example:
the program TESTIT does an EXECUTE PHANTOM ProgramName and is compiled and cataloged. >From the AIX command line I can now type: udt PHANTOM TESTIT This will cause TESTIT to run which in turn spawns another background process that actually runs the program ProgramName. Once TESTIT is done spawning that, TESTIT ends and I am returned to the AIX command line. But ProgramName is still running as a background process. Voila! Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
