Debug Tool can run in batch mode, creating a noninteractive session.
In batch mode, Debug Tool receives its input from the primary commands file, the USE file, or the command string specified in the TEST run-time option, and writes its normal output to a log file.
Commands that require user interaction, such as PANEL, are invalid in batch mode.
You might want to run a Debug Tool session in batch mode if:
When Debug Tool is reading commands from a specified data set or file and no more commands are available in that data set or file, it forces a GO command until the end of the program is reached.
When debugging in batch mode, use QUIT to end your session.
