RE: what is the batch job and online job?

Batch jobs are run at a specific interval/specific schedule. These jobs run for master file update or creating reports etc. Online job processing occurs interactively with the user. Online processing that occurs interactively with the end user is referred to as online transaction processing or OLTP.

In batch input and output is file where as in online input and output is user interactive.

In batch start of job is done by JCL where as in online it is done by transaction.
