PROTOTYPEParam

[harryhome]

hi

This is a piece of shell script which is running in Job Control tab in server job.
You will find "PrototypeJob" a job parameter in third line of code. The default value for same is "PROTOTYPEParam".
i m searching for this file which is having parameter names and their default values.
Can anybody tell me where this file is getting created.



If UPCASE(AreYouSure) = "Y" Then
Open "DS_JOBS" TO F.DS_JOBS Then
Readv PrototypeNbr from F.DS_JOBS,PrototypeJob,5 Then
OPEN "DS_JOBOBJECTS" TO F.DS_JOBOBJECTS Then
PrototypeRootObjName = "J\":PrototypeNbr:"\ROOT"

In this case the value for PrototypeJob is supposed to be the name of a job, that line reads DS_JOBS to get the job number for that job name. The default value for this parameter is stored in the job design itself.

Thanks for quick reply.

I ll like to give u more information on job parameters which are defined for this job.

parmeter : AreYouSure
default value : Y
description : Safety switch - Must be set to Y in order to do anything


parmeter :PrototypeJob
default value :PROTOTYPEParam
description :Parameters and parameter values to be used as default values

Now, this job is used to define the job parmeter to other jobs.
i m under the impression that the job parameter PrototypeJob (having default value "PROTOTYPEParam") is point to some file which is having list of jobparameters with default values and i m searching for tha same file to do some modifications.

HarryHome - I now see what you are looking for. The value will be in the DSParams file in your project directory, set using the administrator.

No, harryhome is probably looking at a Batch utility job that I wrote. The job is available on my website for download and is called Batch::UTILSetDefaultParams. I recognize the EXACT match of logic and variables names and parameter prompts, so harryhome can direct their questions to me on this job.

It takes a supplied job name and copies the parameters defined in that job to other jobs you have designated, either by folder or substring name match. The information and documentation is available on my website under the Members Area.

It's never surprising, as this poster is not the first to have copies of the freeware on my site represented by their contractors as their own diligent efforts and past experiences.
