Batch Format

The external communicators like the Batch Terminal Interface (BTI) and the CAICCI Terminal Interface use the batch format.

Command transactions are entered in batch format in the same way that they would be in an online terminal session. However, functions that use formatted panels in the online environment have special syntax requirements in batch, because formatted panels cannot be displayed in batch.

In some cases, batch and online transaction formats differ. For those cases, the documentation of each online function includes the description of the corresponding batch transaction format.

Note: For more information about external communicators, see the Interface Reference Guide.
