Queries information about the specified process.

Specifying a process ID of 0 will return the information for the current process (that is, the process calling this function); note that this requires the second parameter to specify that the identifier is in fact a process ID ('P' or 'H') rather than an executable name.

Arguments

REXX ARGUMENTS:

 1. The process identifier (program name or process ID) (REQUIRED)
 2. Flag indicicating the identifier type:
      'P': decimal process ID
      'H': hexadecimal process ID
      'N': executable program name (with or without extension) (DEFAULT)

Return Value

REXX RETURN VALUE:

 A string of the format
 pid parent-pid process-type priority cpu-time executable-name
"priority" is in hexadecimal notation, all other numbers are decimal.
"" is returned if the process was not found or if an internal error occurred.
