 6 Function: submits an absentee request to perform COBOL compilations.

 9 Arguments:
10 paths
11    are the pathnames of segments to be compiled.
12 cobol_args
13    are control arguments accepted by the cobol command.
14 dp_args
15    are control arguments (except -delete) accepted by the dprint
16    command.
17 
18 
19 Control arguments:
20 -queue N, -q N
21    is the priority queue of the request.  The default queue is defined
22    by the system administrator.  (See "Notes.")
23 -hold
24    does not dprint or delete any listing files.
25 -output_file path, -of path
26    put absentee output in the segment path.
27 -limit N, -li N
28    specifies time limit in seconds for the absentee job.
29 
30 
31 Notes: Control arguments and paths can be mixed freely and can appear
32 anywhere on the command line after the command.
33 
34 Unpredictable results may occur if two absentee requests are submitted
35 that simultaneously attempt to compile the same segment or write into
36 the same absout segment.
37 
38 
39 If -queue is not specified, the request is submitted into the default
40 absentee priority queue defined by the site and, if requested, the
41 listing files are dprinted in the default queue of the request
42 type supplied on the command line.  (If no request type is given,
43 the "printer" request type is used.)
44 
45 If -queue is specified, the listing files are dprinted in the same
46 queue used for the absentee request.  If the request type specified
47 for dprinting does not have that queue, the highest numbered queue
48 available for the request type is used and a warning is issued.
