This chapter discusses using SORT-MERGE/XL in batch mode.
It shows how to build a job file, initiate it, schedule it, and
terminate it if necessary.
You can create a job file containing SORT-MERGE/XL commands
and run it in batch mode. A batch job, which can contain one or
more commands, is executed independently of your interactive session.
This frees your terminal for other processing. This technique is known as
streaming a job and is initiated with the MPE XL :STREAM command.
The section below, "Initiating a Batch Job" discusses streaming a job file.
