Creating a Batch File

Use the single string arguments format to write commands in a text file. See Formatting a Command for detailed information.

Command files can contain blank lines and comments as well as commands and their arguments:

File Contents Description

Comments

File Contents	Description
Comments	Comments are started by the # symbol and stop at the end of the line. Example: `#File contains commands`
Commands	Are executed in the sequence that they appear in the file. Use commands listed in Index of Available Commands. Commands used in the file must be separated by a semicolon (;) or a new line symbol (#). The # symbol acts as a new line character and can terminate a command. Examples: `open default.jti #opens file` Example: `open default.jti ; -set host mymachine`
Command Arguments	Arguments that contain white space must be placed inside quotes. Use "\" to escape special characters such as quotes (") and backslashes (\).

Comments are started by the # symbol and stop at the end of the line.

Example:
#File contains commands

Commands

Command Arguments Arguments that contain white space must be placed inside quotes. Use "\" to escape special characters such as quotes (") and backslashes (\).

After writing the commands, save the text file file by using a descriptive name and the extension .jtb. The name of the file should help you identify the function of each batch file.
