1. If you use the CALL command on the CL, it will be
interactive but if you want it to be a batch program you
have to use the SBMJOB command (SBMJOB (CALL PGMNME))
2. The number of members that can exist in a PF depends on
the MAXMBRS parameter value when the file was created. You
can view this value using the DSPFD on the PF. You can also
change its value using CHGPF command.

Use RTVJOBA and use first 1 byte variable to find, if valus
is 0 job is batch 1 is for interactive.
Number of members parameters need to be set, can be set to
*NOMAX also.

My question is, how come AS400 system knows it not the user?
We can directly understand by looking at command, no need to
use F18.
