RE: Submiting an interactive job

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had one workstation program that would run in batch.  We placed a user
open on the workstation file, then used a parm to tell if the job was
interactive or batch.  The controlling CL would do a RTVJOBA TYPE(&TYPE).
"0" = batch and "1" = interactive.  We then used this to control whether or
not we opened or wrote to the workstation file.

Later we got smart and broke the program into multiple pieces and call the
same programs from either a batch control program or the interactive
workstation program.

Subject: Submiting an interactive job


Hi everyone,


Did anybody try with success to submit an display program in a batch ?
Normally a break message 'Device *REQUESTER not found while opening the
display file XXX' can be seen if the interactive application is running in
batch. The application I am interested in just displays some texts on the
screen and doesn't wait for the user input. So submiting it in batch seems
quite reasonable.



Thanks,


K. Dziubinski
