Using Suprlink in Batch
You normally run Suprlink as an on-line session. You type Suprlink commands on
your terminal and Suprlink prints responses on your terminal. If you redirect stdin or
stdlist, Suprlink assumes that it is in batch.
Suprlink in batch is almost identical to Suprlink on-line, except for answering
questions. When Suprlink asks a question in batch, no one is there to answer it.
Therefore, Suprlink does not expect an answer from stdin. Suprlink assumes that you
want your batch task to complete, so it always selects the option that will complete
the command successfully. This is normally a "YES" answer, as in "yes, purge the
file". Suprlink prints the question on stdlist, as well as the answer that it has selected
for you.
