Hm... No, PQL params are *not* specific for detached processes. And there
is a dfference between the "default" and the "min" PQL params.

The "min" PQL parameters are always used for any process no matter how
it is started. I'm not sure that you can override them on the RUN command.
They override the UAF params for simple interactive logins, as an example.

Batch queue does not need to have any process parameters specified.
They can, but are not needed. The UAF for the user that runs the batch
job is normaly used.

The "default" params are used when there is no UAF parameters to use.
Like when you do a run/detach and specify your own EXE directly in the
RUN command.

If you do a run/detach/user=xxx and specify LOGINOUT.EXE (with your own
COM file that runs *your* EXE as the /INPUT paramater) a full login will
run and a DCL environment is created for your detached process. And in
that case the UAF params for the specifed username are used (overrided
by the PQL "min" params if they are higher).

The second way, using LOGINOUT.EXE, is needed if you need your process
to have process local logical names. You can then define them in the COM
file before you run your own EXE.

So in the second case using LOGINOUT.EXE, only the PQL "min" parameters
comes into play, the "default" does not replace the UAF parameters. And
your detached process runs in a full DCL environment.

If I'm not completely missing things here...
