INCLUDE CHILDREN

This field determines whether or not child processes will be invoked from a parent process. It affects both automatic and optional child processes. Which child processes will be invoked and which will be skipped depends on where this field is modified. This field is immediately reset to Y after one or more child processes have been skipped.

When a process (particularly a JOB or INPUT process) invokes a child process, the value of INCLUDE CHILDREN is reset at the end of that child process to its value prior to the child process invocation.

If INCLUDE CHILDREN is set to N in the End of Frame event point of a frame that calls automatic child processes, all child processes for that frame will be skipped.

If INCLUDE CHILDREN is set to N in a Pre-Invocation event point, only that child process is skipped.

If INCLUDE CHILDREN is set to N in an Post Invocation event point, any remaining automatic child processes will be skipped.
