Re: Interactive vs. Batch

I'm assuming the program you're calling is a CL program.  It probably 
retrieves the job attributes to determine whether it is running in an 
interactive or a batch environment.  If you can do a RTVCLSRC of this 
program, you could comment out the RTVJOBA command and recompile the 
program in another library.  Then when you run in batch, be sure that 
library is ahead of the original library in the job library list.
