Hi, is there a way to dynamically pass paremeters through to jdl files?
Im developing an application and i would like to pass variables such as START_TIME and START_DATE through to the jdl file, which will then change the properties of a job.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi, i dont think there was a reply in your last response.

Please check out "Using JDL Files" and "Examples of Using Job Definition Language Commands" topic in the online help file.

Here is a modified example of EXAMPLE.JDL file from one of these topics

;***********************************************
;* EXAMPLE.JDL file
;***********************************************
; Change start date and time for job #58
SET 58 START_TIME=08:45
SET 58 START_DATE=01/01/2005

; Add the new job to the schedule
ADD

NAME=New job submited via JDL command file

COMMAND=notepad

ASYNC=N

TIMEOUT=1

START_TIME=08:45

START_DATE=01/01/2005

DESCRIPTION=This jobs was created using JDL command file
; Save all changes
SAV
;***********************************************

To run this file go to command prompt and run
24x7 /SCRIPT EXAMPLE.JDL

to verify results run
TYPE JDL.LOG

Hi, what i want to do was to pass a parameter through the commandline which executes the JDL file. eg. 'Example.Jdl parameter'
i was wondering if this was possible, so i can pass throuhg varaibles in the jdl file call, and code inside the jdl file will pick up the parameter, and processes it.

You cannot pass JDL parameters on the command line but you can create dynamic JDL files. From any program or even from a batch file you can write dynamic JDL file and then execute it using 24x7 / SCRIPT command.
