1.4.2 beginBatch and endBatch

The beginBatch and endBatch function blocks are executed at the beginning and end of each batch respectively. Rules are that the beginBatch block is called when a batch collection agent emits a Begin Batch call. This occurs either at file start, or when a hintEndBatch call is received from any agent capable of utilizing APL code. See hintEndBatch in 29. Workflow Functions for more information.

The endBatch block is called every time a batch collection agent emits an End Batch. This occurs either at file end, or when a hintEndBatch call is received from any agent capable of utilizing APL code.
