BAT, UTILITIES, Submit multiple commands to a batch queue from DCL BAT V1.10 -- Submit multiple commands to a batch queue from DCL This kit contains all the files necessary for installing the BAT utility. Requires VMS V5.0 or later. BAT is designed to be invoked via a foreign command: $ BAT :== $disk:[directory]BAT.EXE BAT lets you submit multiple commands to a batch queue easily and quickly. For example, you can use: $ bat cc := cc/vaxc|mmk or $ bat _Command: cc := cc/vax _Command: mmk _Command: ^Z $ to define CC for that batch job and then run MMK in the current directory. BAT will automatically create the a temporary .COM file that sets the default to the current directory and includes the commands to be executed. The .COM file is then submitted to a batch queue for processing. BAT is written in BLISS.
