Rather than submitting the continuous batch job to a queue, issure the command: $ run sys$system:loginout/input=batch.com/out=batch.log/- proc=process_name/uic=[x,x] This will run LOGINOUT as a detached process with its input the command file BATCH.COM, its output BATCH.LOG, using the process name PROCESS_NAME and the uic [x,x]. Obviously you can add any other qualifiers you deem necessary to the run command.
