Example
This example first shows the generation of a BATCHCAL calendar file from an EDIT
source file. It then shows BATCHCAL displaying the next run time from the generated
file. Finally, the example shows the submission and next run time of a job whose
CALENDAR attribute specifies the BATCHCAL file.
