Batch-input-file

Most commands are allowed during a batch job but certain restrictions apply: If errors occur within a batch job, the offending error message is written on the  together with the message ***BATCH JOB ABORTED*** and the job will be aborted.
 * the first character of a SINTRAN command line must be the @, which corresponds to the leading character typed by the system in interactive mode.
 * all command parameters must be given on the same line as the command name itself because the system cannot ask for the missing parameters.
 * although they are legal, some commands are not well suited within a batch job file. Among these are, for example, the @LOOK-AT command.
 * the commands @LOGOUT and @MODE are not allowed within a batch job.

If errors occurs in accessing the batch input or output files, an error message will be given on the console terminal.
