using exit handler in OpenVMS

Hello All, I am new to OpenVMS OS.This is looking bit strange to me.I used SYS$DCLEXH exit handler to close all the file handles etc in my program before exiting.When I stop the process by pressing CTRL+Y, it looks like it did all the clean up properly.But when I verify the processname using SHOW SYS/PROC=Processname, it says the process is still running. This I am not able to understand.Can anyone please tell me why the SHOW SYS command still lists the process as active and running.

If you are running the program from the terminal that you entered thet Control+Y on, returning you to a $ prompt, then the process is still running, you are it. Do a SHOW PROCESS and verify that it is you. (Also SHOW SYS would show the process in the CUR state). Also, try SHOW PROCESS/CONT/ID=pid to see what image the process it running.

Why would you want to declare an exit handler to close all files when you exit? If you exit VMS will close all files for you.

CTRL + y does not stop the process, it meerly suspends the process from executing. It can be continued by typing continue (provided you dont execute another image etc...)
