The command button bar

Many of the Batch Operator Interface screens have a set of command buttons that are used to issue commands to the current batch. This set of buttons is located on the right side of the screen.

The buttons are not always active or available. The buttons and their availability change dynamically, depending on the function of a particular screen and the current state of the batch. For example, to avoid the inadvertent removal of an active batch, the Remove Batch button is available only if there are batches in the Batch List in either the Stopped or Ready states.

The following table lists the Command buttons.
