Invoke a Script from an IBM i Batch Job
To invoke a script included as an inline file in a database job, the call must specify *FIRST as the database member name.
The following example illustrates both:
- Invocation of an inline script, CALLME, using the STRUDM command from a database job.
- Invocation of an inline script, CALL1, using the CALL command from a database job.
