When you sign-on an AS/400 system, you are interacting with
interactive jobs(e.g.QINTER). The System-jobs which are
presubmitted are called batch jobs(e.g.QBATCH, QSPL, QCMN etc.,)

If u want to know whether a job is in Interactive or Batch,
u can use RTVJOBA command with attribute JOB-TYPE on that job.
if it has a value '1' = Interative; '0' = Batch.

you can change a Batch-job to Interactive-job as long as it
is in JOBQ(by changing the environment on CHGJOB(opt-2)
command to QINTER or QPGMR); once it's active we cannot
change the type.
