VMS Help System Services, $GETJPIW  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Returns information about one or more processes on the system.

    The $GETJPIW service completes synchronously; that is, it returns
    to the caller with the requested information. Compaq recommends
    that you use an IOSB with this service. An IOSB prevents the
    service from completing prematurely. In addition, the IOSB
    contains status information.

    For asynchronous completion, use the Get Job/Process Information
    ($GETJPI) service; $GETJPI returns to the caller after queuing
    the information request, without waiting for the information to
    be returned.

    In all other respects, $GETJPIW is identical to $GETJPI. For
    all other information about the $GETJPIW service, refer to the
    description of $GETJPI in this manual.

    On Alpha systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.
