119.0. "Batch job name default" by UBEAUT::PAGE (It works for me) Tue Mar 17 1987 01:29

    We run all our DOCUMENT in batch here and it is a constant source
    of frustration trying to find out what is queued for a particular
    user.
    
    Would it be possible to have the batch job name default to the source
    filename ? With the username automatically added on a submit, this
    would give us an 'at-a-glance' check of exactly what is queued for
    whom.
    
    Currently we have a command procedure that does this for us, but
    I don't like this solution and it is definately slower.

    #18 discusses workarounds, etc. I prefer a simple DOCU/BATCH=LOG:name
    (where SUBMIT is defined in my LOGIN.COM to be SUBMIT/KEEP). This
    sends all the LOG files to my top level directory.
    
    In the next version, the LOG will have the same name as the input
    file.

    I assume (from the date on the note) that "next version" is T1.0-008.
    Indeed, the jobname did change from DOC$longstringofnumbers (BL7) to
    DOC$filename (BL8).

    What is the purpose of the "DOC$" prefix?  After all, SUBMIT doesn't
    name its batch job SUBMIT$filename.
