HP SYSTEM DICTIONARY XL UTILITIES-Part 1 SDDBD

Session Mode vs.  Batch Mode 

SDDBD can be run either in session mode or in batch mode.  Some
differences exist, however, between the two modes.

When running in batch mode, both [[CONTROL]] Y and the REDO command are
disabled.  When running in session mode, any run option other than 0 or
-1 is ignored.  The default value of the OPTION parameter is also
different between sessions and jobs.  In sessions, the default value for
this parameter is PROMPT, while in jobs, it is SKIP.

Furthermore, in jobs, any old SDOUT and SDLOG files are automatically
overwritten, while in sessions, the user is asked to confirm.
