Always place this command directly above the last instance of a .SIZ file called from inside a batch file. Used by Order Manager to know when it can begin matching trades originated in SIG code to those being processed by SIZ code for order creation. This is necessary because any number of SIZ files could be processed on a single batch run and Mechanica needs to know in advance which one is the last one.  NEXTSTEP is ignored in historical testing.
