DFbatch is a framework for edit check execution in command-line or unattended mode. The framework specifies which data records are to be operated upon by edit checks and what is to happen when edit checks are invoked. It uses the same edit checks that are used in interactive edit checks through DFexplore and introduces no changes to the language.
Complete reference documentation for DFbatch can be found in Batch Edit checks.
