Batch Programs Must Include PCF

The PCF rule gives a warning whenever the following include is not found in the compilation unit: {sys/batch_api.i}. This is a rule specific to EarthLink. All batch jobs must invoke the Process Control Framework and report their status to it. This rule should be disabled by anyone not at EarthLink. If encountered in a non-batch program, this indicates that the developer is using the wrong rule profile.

The Risk:
Violation of EarthLink coding standards.

How to solve this:
Include {sys/batch_api.i} somewhere near the top of the program.

How to suppress these warnings:
Disable the rule or run a rule profile that does not have it enabled.
