COMPONENT/ENTRY POINT

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

COUNT(INC[,JOB])

This API is used when a job first starts to add it's
self to the list of running jobs by passing in a INC as a "1".  When it is
about to halt it should call with INC as a "-1".  The JOB parameter defaults
to $JOB.

TOUCH

This API updates the time stamp on the record so the
clean up code will not remove the record.  It is only needed by long running
jobs, those running more that one day.
