Session Mode vs. Batch Mode
SDVPD can be run either in session mode or in batch mode. Some
differences exist, however, between the two modes.
When running in batch mode, both [[CONTROL]] Y and the REDO command are
disabled. When running in session mode, any run option other than 0 or
-1 is ignored.
The default value of the OPTION parameter is also different between
sessions and jobs. In sessions, the default value for this parameter is
PROMPT, while in jobs, it is SKIP.
Furthermore, in jobs, any old SDOUT and SDLOG are automatically
overwritten, while, in sessions, the user is asked to confirm.
