Can I specify a parameter to a JAL job from a shortcut. I want to pass the parameter from outside the job. For example 24x7.exe /job 1 /parameter xxx.

Thanks.

Sorry, you cannot use that method. but what you can do is starting a job from a little batch file like below
SET MyVar=1
24x7.exe /JOB 1

Then in the job you can use macro parameters (@V"env:MyVar") to obtain the value of MyVar environment variable.

Of couse if you modify the batch as below

SET MyVar=%1
24x7.exe /JOB 1

you can pass the value dynamically as a command line parameter to the batch.
