Function
Notifies the high level scheduler of the urgency of a job, by storing the specified urgency in a file which is consulted by the high level scheduler subject program.
Format
URGENCY letter
Forbidden contexts
NO USER
Execution
The URGENCY command checks that the user has a positive allowance of time available at the stataed urgency and, if he has, it stores this urgency in the file :SYSTEM.JOBLIST, for use by the high level scheduler. If the user has no time available at the stated urgency a command error is reported.
Example
URGENCY M
Note
There may be more than one URGENCY command in a job, each one superceding the one before it. There may be none at all, in which case URGENCY M will be used. If the user consumes all the time available at the specified urgency in other jobs, before the job is scheduled by the subject program, his job is assigned the highest urgency lower than that specified at which he does have time available.
