A BATCHLIST is simply
a container element for one or more
BATCH elements.
The BATCHLIST is the root element of the input control
file.
When multiple BATCH elements
appear in a BATCHLIST,
they are, by default, processed in the order that they are defined in
the BATCHLIST.
The processing order can however be altered at runtime through the
-b option.
The BATCHLIST root element must be present even if only
one BATCH is defined.
It must appear exactly once in the file.
It is an error for any characters to appear after the
</BATCHLIST> end tag.
