Invalid dataset type error when attempting to use scan mode of cmmbatch.

"Invalid dataset type, scan mode is only for I-deas and CatiaV4" error when  using cmmbatch with the p option to indicate dataset type is ProEngineer. 

Solution This error is correct.  The scan mode of cmmbatch does not support the p dataset  type because ProEngineer is not supported using this mode.
