Executing in Batch

Once you select a query or dialog from the DIRECTORY OF QUERIES panel, you can press the SUBMIT PF key to indicate that you want to execute your selection in batch.

If you are authorized for batch execution of queries, you can accomplish a number of objectives with batch execution. The following figure outlines possible objectives. Unlike online execution, you can defer execution, suppress the output, and export the output.

Execution Time

Can be either immediate or deferred.

Immediate

Begin execution at next opportunity.

Deferred

Delay execution until specified time.

(There are two types of export sets, fixed length and variable- length, comma-separated. For details, see the next section.)
