I doubt that they are ignoring it or even that your program is not being 
run.  Your validity checker probably has code to detect if the command is 
running in a batch or interactive job.  In WDSC, the job would be batch. 
If you try to open a display file in a batch job you get a hard error, so 
usually you either condition your code to check the job type and skip 
opening the file, or I suppose you could handle the error in your code.

One big impact is going to be anything in your "process" that requires a 
green screen.  In most cases, that screen is not going to exist.
