Both may give problems.
In the first case: I've sometimes had a process in the C-queue using so
much time, the job in the D-queue took several minutes to take off:
your IN=1 will drift accordingly.

In the second case, if your <JOB LOGIC> results in an uncaught error:
"The remainder of the job will be flushed", including the scheduling
stream. So, what I now usually do is, at the start of the job do a
pause 70, then the scheduling stream with an AT=, and then the <JOB
LOGIC>. If necessary, you can adjust the start time accordingly (i.e. 1
minute early).
