RE: Running a program with a display file in batch

Rob,

The original post was how to convert an interactive program to run in batch 
quickly with a minimal amount of changes.  The switch was for the display file 
which can't open in batch without causing a runtime error.  I wouldn't code a 
program from scratch using this technique.

Yes, but with manual opens and closes you can handle the logic from within 
the RPG program if there's a problem.
open(e) MyFile;
if %error;
  Select;
  When %status(MyFile)...
  ...
  EndSl;
EndIf;

If you care enough about your users to go to that level.
