Using QMF

Writing batch-mode procedures

The rules for writing batch-mode procedures are more restrictive than those for writing interactive procedures. The restrictions avoid situations in which user interaction is required. Before discussing these restrictions, you need to know two new terms:

• The main procedure is the one that is identified on the ISPSTART command that starts QMF for batch mode.
• A subordinate procedure is one that is called directly from the main procedure or from another subordinate procedure.
