XOAF Batch

XOAF may also be run in a batch mode which will not tie up your
terminal while doing administrative tasks.

XOAF Batch is JCL with several commands available to load
fonts, forms, logos, etc. An example is shown below. As in the
ISPF version, you must enter the Input Dataset Name and
member as well as the Output Dataset Name.

The command

LOAD FORM

is available to load or compile a

form. The command

COMPILE FORM

is also available to

compile a form.

If the Input dataset has a record length of 128-bytes, the form will
be loaded into the Output Dataset.

If the Input dataset has a record length of 80-bytes, the FSL will
be compiled and the resultant form (.FRM) will be stored in the
Output Dataset. The compiled form member name is always the
form name as defined in the FSL. If an output member name is
entered, it will be ignored. Compiled forms also have a listing file
showing the FSL source and any messages generated by XFG.
This listing is written to the DDName of UJLLIST.

Sample JCL is shown below.
