Emergency Missions

An emergency mission can be used to overcome any irregularities in normal execution. The mission remains in the Active Missions file, waiting to be scheduled, until all regular missions of the same GROUP finish executing OK. Then, when the emergency mission is no longer needed, the mission is automatically removed from the Active Missions file. This process is performed once a day by the New Day procedure. (For additional information, see parameter MAXWAIT in this chapter.).

Note: It is highly recommended that parameter GROUP be specified if you define emergency missions. If GROUP is not specified, the mission may remain indefinitely in the Active Missions file.
