Using the DCL Command Interface › Creating a Job in Batch Mode

Creating a Job in Batch Mode

The manager can use batch as an execution engine instead of using detached jobs. Create or modify a job specially to use batch mode. The default is /MODE=DETACHED.

The following examples show how to create a job in batch mode:

SCHEDULE> CREATE/MODE=BATCH/QUEUE=SYS$BATCH

This example creates a batch job without using the /PROMPT qualifier, and prompts only for a standard subset of qualifiers. See the CA Job Management for OpenVMS Command Reference Guide for more details on /PROMPT.

SCHEDULE> CREATE/PROMPT/MODE=BATCH/QUEUE=SYS$BATCH

In this example the user creates a batch job using the /PROMPT qualifier, and is prompted for a set of qualifiers.

The SCHED SHOW command does not display attributes that are not allowable for current MODE of that job.
