     We are having an unusual problem when trying to use CLI$DCL_PARSE from a
    detached process. The detached process gets created using the RUN/DETACHED.
    DCL command. The error returned when we try to parse a line from an
    initialization file that the program uses is:
    
            %CLI-E-INVREQTYP, invalid request type
    
     The *ODD* thing is that when the program is run interactively or
    via a BATCH command file, it works without error. It only gets the
    error when it is run detached.

You haven't given us the full DCL command that you use to generate the
detached process, but I suspect that you are just running the image.
If this is done, the process is not given a CLI.  Thus, a call back to
the CLI will always fail.  Running the image interactively or in batch
mode works because both of these cases require you to have a CLI.

Cheers,
Tony ;-)
