Hi,

Dan does indeed ask the first batch of questions. In addition, what operating system you are using also plays a part. What can be different between batch and interactive (presuming that program code, data, locations, etc. are all the same) usually falls into four areas. The batch and interactive, depending upon what operating system, can be run as different user logins, and do use different config and autoexec files, and can have different environment variables set. When not working right these can be frustrating to track down, but are really pretty easy to deal with and get working in both modes, so let us know what operating system you are using and some more details as Dan mentions from the log and/or more particulars in what behavior is different.

Hope this is helpful.

The reason is that there is something different between the two environments. :-) You really need to provide more detail if you want more useful help. What is the program that you are running? Where does the data reside? Does the batch job provide any log file? If so, what is in it? Maybe someoneelse will have better questions to ask.

Sorry, I can't be of more help,

Dan
