Set default Params

Post by dhiraj »

I was looking at Ken's SetDefaultParams job which was posted at ADN. Presently i'm trying to customize this for my own requirements. I have couple of questions about this

1) this job was written for version 5.1 , Does it work for version 7.1 as well?
2) i observed that the job updates columns 14 -20 in the DS_JOBOBJECTS file. I understand that column 14 is the parameter name,15 the prompt,16 the data type and 17 the default value. What are columns 18,19,20?

Utilies like this one makes life a little easier, thanks Ken!

It works up to 7.1, haven't heard from anyone using 7.5 if it still works. The help text is one of 18-20, but I'm not sure. I did see from looking at the data that it looks to be associated from the fact that I saw delimiting multivalue marks on all of those attributes and assumed they're part of the parameter "block".

One is the subvalued list of values when you have a list type.
