ISBATCH: Pseudoverb to turn on/off the batch status flag.

INPUTS

          Grammar:      ISBATCH TRUE    turn on flag.
                        ISBATCH FALSE   turn off flag.
          AIPS and all tasks will treat the current job as a
          batch job if this flag is turned on.  In other words,
          all tasks will run in DOWAIT TRUE mode, errors will
          cause the job to terminate, the message file is used
          more heavily, and DOCRT is ignored.

HELP SECTION

ISBATCH
Type:  Pseudoverb
Use:   To turn on and off a flag which tells all of AIPS that
       the current job is running in a batch mode.  This
       pseudoverb may be one of several commands on a line
       and is invoked with the grammar
              ISBATCH  TRUE         turns on the batch flag
              ISBATCH  FALSE        turn off the batch flag
       This parameter is known only to those tasks started after
       it has been specified.  The use of this option is
       recommended when you submit AIPS under a local batch
       system (which is a lot cheaper at some sites).

       If an error occurs, the tasks and AIPS will exit as
       gracefully as possible (as in AIPS batch).
