2.

Create and enter your batch commands by either of the following methods:

If you need to work with several batch command modifications or lists, create
a text file containing the batch commands and browse for that file.

The file can have any file extension.

If writing comments in the file begin the comment line with # on a separate
line.

#This is an example of a batch command file comment line

The full command syntax must be on one line. A command broken by a
line return will trigger an error.

If your administrator has a valid email account, when the batch file is
processed, the system mails the full success and error output of this
session to the administrator.

Note:

For more detailed information on building a batch file, see “Building a

Batch File” on page 19.

or

If you need a single batch command modification or list, type the batch
command directly into the Batch page’s command field.

Click Validate to check for syntax errors and return errors as if the batch
command were processed. If the system returns errors, correct the syntax
mistakes.

4.

Click the Back button to return to the Batch page.

After validation, clicking the Back button will clear the selected file to prevent
the accidental submission of a mistake-filled batch file.

If you’re using a batch file, browse for the corrected file again, or type your
corrected commands in the batch file. You are now ready to submit the batch
command.

5.

If you’re using a batch file: Copy the process code, paste it into Process
Code field, and click the Submit job button. For entering a single batch
command, this step is not necessary.
