Thanks everyone for your comments.
Our site isn't big enough to worry about the impact of more than one compile running in parallel, however having the compiles in their own jobs does interest me slightly. Unfortunately, all "batch" compiles in RDi use an identical job name (the name of the JOBD). If you compile in batch through PDM then the job name is usually the name of the source member. Does anyone know of a way to rename the submitted job to the selected source name, or know of an RFE that would help?

I always compile in batch, but I only compile from the green screen,
so maybe my views don't translate to an RDi-based workflow.
Alas, terminology.
An interactive compile uses the server job that RDi has previously established to execute commands. That job starts when RDi does and lasts until RDi closes (ish). So, technically speaking, an interactive compile runs in batch too.
One might consider it 'interactive' in that each developer has a separate server job. If all hundred of them compile programs simultaneously, IBM i will process all hundred of them at the same time.
(Leaving work management details aside for the moment).
If the same hundred developers requested the same hundred compiles simultaneously, and those requests went to a single, common job queue ('batch compile'), they would process one after the other, rather than all in one go.
