BATCH.SV V50
@Calling commands:
.SUBMIT spooldev:<inputdev:FILE.BI

/P Batch from paper tape /papertape
/S Enable Subroutine mode /subroutine
/U unattended /unattended
/V BATCH Version /version
/6 Use 026 Card codes (only if /C) /026
@Control Cards:
$JOB Starts new Batch JOB (full page on LPT:)
$MSG Message to terminal and wait for operator
$END Ends current JOB. Returns from subroutine or quit
$ERR If Batch error Status on, start, if off, stop executing
$EXIT Stop executing and scan for other $ cards. Does not end JOB
$RESUME Reenable execution. (after $ERR or $EXIT)
$SKIP Skip next command if error Status off
Execute next command if error Status on. Turn error off
.GO xy CCL command: Goto Card $xy (backward or forward)
If the /S option was used to start Batch, the
behaviour of Batch upon issuance of .SU in a
Batch stream is different. This SU command will
create a new Batch stream which will execute till
it finds a $END. At that moment the old Batch
stream will be started at the instruction following
the SU that started the subroutine.
The Error status is turned on automatically by some
CUSPS. If a user program wants to turn it on, it can
do so by writing to the new BAT: handler (Version M).
