Re: Detection of batch/interactive

Or get the job name from the program status data structure. If it's an interactive job, the job name will be the name of the workstation. If it's batch, it will be the name of the job description it's running under.

I am writing an RPG program that I want users to run in batch mode. My standard solution to this is to write a CL program that submits the RPG to batch, and point a CMD at the CL program. But I had this idea... What if the RPG could detect whether or not it was running in batch, and if it wasn't submit a job to batch, that would call the same program, and terminate the interactve one? I have the logic mapped out in RPG, but I can't figure out how to detect if the program is running in Batch. I don't see anything in the PSDS that shows this... Can it be done?
