The code snippets below show how to create batch jobs using the BatchHeader class.

Examples for a RunBaseBatch construct

static void createBatchWithMultipletasks(Args _args)
{
    BatchHeader batchHeader;
    Tutorial_RunbaseBatch batchTask1, batchTask2, batchTask3;

    //create batch header
    batchHeader = BatchHeader::construct();
    batchHeader.parmCaption("Example of a batch job with multiple tasks");

    //create instances of the classes to use as batch tasks
    batchTask1 = Tutorial_RunbaseBatch::construct();
    batchTask2 = Tutorial_RunbaseBatch::construct();
    batchTask3 = Tutorial_RunbaseBatch::construct();

    //add the batch tasks to the batch header
    batchHeader.addTask(batchTask1);
    batchHeader.addTask(batchTask2);
    batchHeader.addTask(batchTask3);

    //save the batch
    batchHeader.save();
}

Using the following code, you can post a sales invoice for a particular sales order and process only selected lines.
The trick is to use the standard functionality of the initLinesQuery() method to create the SalesParmLine table and modify these data records before posting. For example, by deleting entire data records from the SalesParmLine.

static void createSalesInvoiceSelectLines(Args _args)
{
    SalesTable salesTable = SalesTable::find('001562');
    SalesFormLetter salesFormLetter;
    SalesParmLine salesParmLine;
    
    setPrefix(funcName());
    
    salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice);

    // Do the steps manually, which normally are done in method salesFormLetter.update()
    salesFormLetter.salesTable(salesTable);
    salesFormLetter.initParmSalesTable(salesFormLetter.salesTable());
    salesFormLetter.transDate(systemDateGet());
    salesFormLetter.specQty(SalesUpdate::All);
    salesFormLetter.proforma(salesFormLetter.salesParmUpdate().Proforma);
    salesFormLetter.printFormLetter(salesFormLetter.printFormLetter());
    salesFormLetter.printCODLabel(NoYes::No);
    salesFormLetter.printShippingLabel(NoYes::No);
    salesFormLetter.usePrintManagement(false);
    salesFormLetter.creditRemaining(salesFormLetter.creditRemaining());

    salesFormLetter.createParmUpdateFromParmUpdateRecord(
        SalesFormletterParmData::initSalesParmUpdateFormletter(
            salesFormLetter.documentStatus(),                   
            salesFormLetter.pack(),                                                                                                                
            true,                                                                                                                
            false,                                                                                                                
            false));

    salesFormLetter.initParameters(salesFormLetter.salesParmUpdate(), Printout::Current);

    salesFormLetter.initLinesQuery();
    
    while select forupdate salesParmLine
        where salesParmLine.ParmId == salesFormLetter.parmId()
    {
        setPrefix(#PrefixField(salesParmLine, InventTransId));
        
        // ...Modify record/Delete record...
    }

    // Let's go
    if (salesFormLetter.validate(null))
    {
        salesFormLetter.run();
    }
}
