Batch
Although Qedit is primarily designed for interactive editing, all commands except Visual can be used in a batch :JOB. There are two differences in operation:
An error causes Qedit to terminate in batch mode, but only skips the current command line in session mode;
Where a “Yes-or-No” question is asked in session mode (e.g., “Clear?”), the question is printed with an implicit “Yes” answer in batch mode (e.g., “Clear? Yes”).
In both session and batch, a “warning” message is nonfatal. Set Autocont ON causes errors to be nonfatal in batch mode. New work lines can be Added in batch, but because Control-Y cannot be used, the Add should be ended with “//”.
