what is the BATCH OPTION ?

Batches can be used to run a program on a regular basis without interaction from the user.
E.g. we run MFG on a unix machine and we have crontab entries that execute every 15 minutes, every hour, every day and every week.

In MFG/Pro batchid's can be defined (e.g. hourly, daily). Then executing the batchprocessor from crontab will execute the submitted programs.

Reshmaworld, since you don't have access to the crontab, is there any cron entry starting an MFG/Pro batch? You will need something that triggers the launch of a program.
Regarding your other question: No, the program does not neccessarily have to be in the MFG/Pro menu.
(However, if it is, you should take care that the userid executing the batch is allowed to run the program).
