User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, it is generally due to an exceeded quota of subprocesses. If you have other subprocesses running, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.

E-SYSTEM, Sub-process <String> could not be attached
SIC, SYSTEM command without argument, or with option /PROCESS. The programs failed to attach to an existing sub-process, previously created by the SIC$\backslash$SYSTEM command, or by another program. If the option /PROCESS was not present, the command will try to create a new one.

W-SYSTEM, More than <number> sub-processes active
SIC, SYSTEM command with or without arguments. You have reached the maximum number of sub-processes allowed within SIC.
User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.

E-SYSTEM, Sub-process cannot be created
SIC, SYSTEM command with or without arguments. The sub-process cannot be created, usually because of lack of system resources. The VMS error message follows this error.
User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, it is generally due to an exceeded quota of subprocesses. If you have other subprocesses running, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.
