Assuming your programs are not interactive, needing screen i/o, and you
don't mean subroutines, you could consider just running programs as
CICS transactions with START when the online environment is running and
setting up an indivdual CICS session via JCL for your batch task when
it isn't. There may even be some sophisticated scheduling mechanisms
for when the online environment is running. Thinking about it a bit
more, if you were to invoke a batch CICS session via JCL, you would
probably still want/need to use START within it to allow multiple
programs to be executed in sequence or together without having to load
and unload CICS multiple times.

Any one else got any thoughts, as I am not very familiar with this,
though I know something like it can be done.
