Breaks  the  connection  between  a  physical terminal and a virtual
  terminal. After the physical  terminal  is  disconnected,  both  the
  virtual terminal and the process using it remain on the system.

  Requires that your physical terminal is connected to a virtual
  terminal.

/CONTINUE

 /CONTINUE
 /NOCONTINUE (default)

  Controls  whether  the  CONTINUE  command is executed in the current
  process just before connecting to another process. This  permits  an
  interrupted  image  to  continue  processing after the disconnection
  until the process needs terminal input or attempts to write  to  the
  terminal.  At  that  point,  the  process  waits  until the physical
  terminal is reconnected to the virtual terminal.

  1.   $ DISCONNECT

  This  command  disconnects  a  physical  terminal  from  a   virtual
  terminal,  but  does not log out the process. The physical terminal
  can now be used to log in again.

  2.   $ RUN PAYROLL
       ^Y
       $ DISCONNECT/CONTINUE

  In this example, the RUN command is entered from a physical terminal
  that is connected to a virtual terminal. After the image PAYROLL.EXE
  is  interrupted, the DISCONNECT command disconnects the physical and
  the virtual terminals without logging out the process. The /CONTINUE
  qualifier  allows the image PAYROLL.EXE to continue to execute until
  the process needs  terminal  input  or  attempts  to  write  to  the
  terminal.  At  that  point,  the  process  waits  until the physical
  terminal is reconnected to the virtual terminal.  However,  you  can
  use the physical terminal to log in again and perform other work.
