Description:

DRUN initiates a deferred session and issues a job identifier of the form "nnnnD". Input to DRUN must be in a permanent file, or a command string enclosed in double quotes. The command string may consist of a number of commands separated by backslashes and/or ampersands.

DRUN output is directed to the permanent file "outfile". If the filename "*null" is given, the output is thrown away. If the filename is "*id", DRUN will use the job identifier (nnnnD) as the file name.

The following special directives may appear within the command file:

$*$QUIT         <- give up
$*$TRAP         <- abort if DRL T.ERR
$*$TRAP OFF     <- don't abort on error flagged by T.ERR
$*$REM          <- comment (also ignored by CPOS)
$*$LBL          <- define a label for CPOS use
$*$DELE [OFF]   <- control writing to *cfp file
$*$NULL         <- line with <cr> only
$*$BRK          <- act as if break were hit
