Usage of PHDFM in batch

[Robert J.M. Edis]

My thanks to all those who responded to my questions.  I have a solution
that works, at least for the most part ;-).  Here is an extract from the DCL
script:

$ set ver
$ @sys$login:set_test_logicals.com
$ write sys$output " "
$ def sys$output device:[workdir]create_files.log
$ def sys$error  sys$output
$ set def device:[datadir] 
$ write sys$output "Deleting old files now ..."
$ write sys$output " "
$ del/nolog/noconfirm *.*;*
$ write sys$output "Now starting PHDFM creates ..."
$ write sys$output " "
$ set noon
$ phdfm create filename1
$ phdfm create filename2
$ ...
$ phdfm create filename425
$!
$ set on
$ write sys$output " "
$ write sys$output "File create completed; new list follows:"
$ write sys$output " "
$ dir
$ write sys$output " "
$ write sys$output "File create process completed; end of run."
$ write sys$output " "
$ deass sys$error
$ deass sys$output
$ set def device:[workdir]
$ set nover
$ exit

Two files (out of 425) still bombed though.  It has something to do with the
way the open name logicals have been defined.  These I can do manually I
guess as when in interactive mode the logicals work fine.
