RE: Startup program batch or interactive

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for showing this code. This is what I was looking for. We
currently compare the job type to interactive, but we do not check the job's
name. I presume the rest of the program is the batch portion...

The start up is in batch.  Here is an example:

DCL        VAR(&JOBNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) VALUE('XXXXXXXXXX')
DCL        VAR(&JOB )    TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL        VAR(&TYPE)    TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)

/* SELF SUBMITT TO BATCH
SUBMIT:      RTVJOBA    JOB(&JOB) TYPE(&TYPE)
RESUBMIT:    IF         COND((&TYPE *EQ '1') *OR (&JOB *NE +
                          &JOBNAME)) THEN(DO)
             SBMJOB     CMD(CALL PGM(XYZZY) PARM(&PARM1)) +
                          JOB(&JOBNAME) DSPSBMJOB(*NO ) MSGQ(*NONE)
                 GOTO       CMDLBL(ENDPGM)
             ENDDO

We have several "self-submit-to-batch" programs that we are considering
adding to the startup program. Is the startup program considered batch or
interactive? Either from an IPL or coming out of restricted state. I don't
want to run into the situation that the startup program is batch, then our
job will "hang up" the startup program.

Thanks,
Loyd
