PARAMETERS

NOTES
- For UNIX, the BPRO command runs the following executable:
The
&
character causes a Progress batch session to run in the background, and returns control to the terminal once the session starts. When the & character is not present, for example, when you simply use the (-b) startup parameter, Progress initiates a batch session in the foreground without terminal interaction and control does not return to the terminal until the session completes.- On UNIX and Windows NT, you can redirect batch job input and output with the < and > redirection symbols. You can also use the pipe symbol (|) to put a Progress batch run in a command pipeline.
