CL commands are used in either batch or interactive jobs. – The AS/400 system provides many menus and displays to assist the programmer, including the Programmer Menu, the Command Entry display, command prompt displays, and the Programming Development Manager (PDM) Menu to make interactive entries. – Interactive job has to wait for the issued command to complete to continue with another command. – SBMJOB command causes the command to run in batch. – SBMJOB command causes the program that issues it to continue without waiting for the issued command to complete. – In case of an exception, if the program is running in an interactive job, the system sends the message to the job’s external message queue. If the program is running as a batch job, the system sends the message to the system operator message queue, QSYSOPR.
