James,
The most accurate method is to call the QUSRJOBI API which has the appropriate subfield.
Prior to the use of APIs, a very simple one liner is to attempt to open a workstation display file (any one will do) and check the error indicator for failure since display files cannot be opened in batch.

Is there an easy way for ILE RPG program to know whether it's running in a batch job or an interactive job?
I'm sure I've brought this up before, but I can't find any trace of the answer.
