In this default environment the SUBMIT command works, but there is no inherent ability to queue the submitted jobs for deferred or serial execution.
If you do this:
begin_
...
loop from(1)
...
to(5)
...
submit process(demo)
...
function(test)
...
end_loop
then all five spawned functions will begin to execute as soon as they are submitted. This means that it is likely that all five spawned functions will end up executing immediately (and concurrently).
...
This type of job queuing is often called "batch processing".
