      The problem is that the number of processes is already set by an EXECUTION CONTROL snippet in the .def file. This must first be removed before the run can proceed. Processor instruction in EXECUTION CONTROL conflicts with the instructions provided by partition files, so the two cannot exist simultaneously during run submission.
