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.
