[edit] CICS etc. as jobs

I've just removed the following paragraph from the article

Batch jobs are not thought of as interactive, but transaction processing
systems such as IBM's CICS may run from a technical perspective as
batch jobs, although this is typically obscured from terminal
users.

because while it is technically correct (in MVS et seq., everything is a job, even CICS itself or a TSO user), it clouds the discussion of batch processung unnecessarily. Besides, such systems are usually 1-step jobs anyway, and are only "jobs" in the most arcane sense. RossPatterson 00:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
