The /BATCH Option

Option

/B[[ATCH]]

The /BATCH option suppresses prompting for libraries or object files that LINK cannot find. By default, the linker prompts for a new path whenever it cannot find a library it has been directed to use. It also prompts you if it cannot find an object file that it expects to find on a floppy disk. When /BATCH is used, the linker generates an error or warning message (if appropriate). The /BATCH option also suppresses the LINK copyright message and echoed input from response files.

Using this option can cause unresolved external references. It is intended primarily for users who use batch files or makefiles for linking many executable files with a single command and who wish to prevent linker operation from halting.

Note:

This option does not suppress prompts for input fields. Use a semicolon (;) at the end of the LINK input to suppress input prompting.
