2.5 PROCS SUBMITTED AS BATCH JOBS

A proc may be submitted for execution in batch mode. TAE places the proc on the specified batch queue and submits the job after all the procs ahead of it in the queue have been executed. The proc is run under a copy of the Terminal Monitor, and when the proc terminates, the job terminates.

A proc running in batch mode behaves the same as a proc running synchronously, with the following exceptions:

• The standard output is, by default, a "LOG" type file with the same name as the proc. (The proc invocation line may override this default with the STDOUT command qualifier.)

• Session logging is not available; ENABLE-LOG is ignored.

• The following TCL intrinsic commands are not permitted in batch:
  • ENABLE-SCRIPT

  • GETPAR

  • REPLY

  • TUTOR

  • MENU

• The value of the $RUNTYPE global is "BATCH".

• The initial environment, that is, the values of the TCL globals, is the same as for the session that initiated the batch run.
