Because ISPF does not run in the CICS environment, you cannot use the QMF BATCH command. |
In QMF batch mode, you can run both linear procedures and procedures with logic in the MVSª and VM environments while you perform other work at your terminal. You can run procedures in batch at any time, and you do not have to interact with QMF while the procedure is running. ISPF is required to use the QMF BATCH application.
To run a procedure in batch mode, first create and save the procedure, just as you would to run it interactively. Then use the QMF batch application, which simplifies batch processing. The application prepares and submits the batch job from information that you enter on the batch prompt panel. You only need to know the name of the procedure and a few details about the batch machine on your system. However, it still might be necessary to contact your information center to have the application tailored to your needs.
