Invoking EXECs synchronously with IMFEXEC SELECT(EXEC) WAIT(YES)
Some automation procedures may need to include more than one EXEC to run.
Using the IMFEXEC SELECT statement in an EXEC allows one EXEC to schedule another EXEC-initiated EXEC are usually subroutines or service routines that carry out specialized tasks needed by several automation procedures.
An EXEC can schedule another EXEC under the same thread (synchronously) or under a new thread (asynchronously). IMFEXEC SELECT allows one EXEC to schedule another. If IMFEXEC SELECT is coded with WAIT(YES), the called EXEC is scheduled to execute under the same thread. Otherwise, the called EXEC executes as a separate task under a new thread.
