Issue/Introduction
My CA Ramis database has an AUTOMATIC PROCEDURE written in SBX that is executing in batch as well as when online.
Environment
Release: 7.4
CA Ramis
CA Ramis Reporter
Cause
I only want it to execute when online but not when execution is in batch.
Resolution
The user specified AUTOMATIC PROCEDURE will be invoked in any environment including batch.
The CA Ramis database file RAMSET PROFILE field named PROCEDURE has the value of the user specified AUTOMATIC PROCEDURE.
You can control any SBX procedure during execution by testing the value of the SBX variable %TERMINAL.
When running in batch the value of %TERMINAL is 0 (zero).
Your SBX procedure can be modified to test for the value of %TERMINAL.
Add logic and recompile the SBX procedure. For example:
IF %TERMINAL EQ 0 THEN; EXIT; ENDIF;
This will cause the SBX procedure to end (EXIT) if it is being run on batch mode.
