Re: Subfiles in batch job

[Contractor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I tried this about four years back when I wanted a dynamic array in batch
(thought I'd use a subfile as my dynamic array). I found it pointless
because you still have to lock a workstation device. There is some system
arbitrator that threw a money-wrench in my plans. Somethings may have
changed since then. If you get it to work, I'll be interested how. I'll be
watching the responses you get.

A coworker is converting an interactive RPG program to be used in a batch
job.
To keep the changes as minimal as possible he would like to use the
existing
display file and associated subfile logic, without the screen I/O of
course.  He
is receiving "session or device error" messages when trying to open the
display
file in the batch job.  Is it possible to use a display file in batch?  If
so,
what must be defined in the program and/or display file to make it work?

Thanks in advance!
