Heh, if a display file is opened, the job is interactive essentially by 
definition. In that sense, no, a display file cannot be opened in batch because 
it ceases to be batch at that instant... more or less.

However, a job submitted to the QBATCH *jobq and processed within the QBATCH 
subsystem can indeed open a display file and write display records and read 
display records. No problem as long as a display device has been acquired for 
the display file. The acquiring happens essentially automatically in an 
'interactive' job as we normally think of them. In the 'batch' jobs, the 
acquiring would often be done via OVRDSPF DEV(xxxx).
