Re: MF Server rts32 does not run in AIX 5.3L batch queue

Thanks. But why would rts32 wait for input from tty
when the cobol program doesn't even have any accept
statement from tty?

The same program submitted to the queue (for scripts)
runs to end-of-job when run with rts32 of microfocus
object cobol in AIX 4.3.
