Not legally.

Parameter values are set when the job run request is made.

In the sequnnce the value of the previous stage can be overwrite for example if u r using Loop stage in the sequence u pass the list of parameters like Country US,UK. So in the job activity property u can rewrite the job parameter by clicking Loopsequence option.

Welcome aboard.

That's not the same as changing a parameter value within a job once that job is running.

Please maintain a professional standard of written English at DSXchange. It helps those whose first language is not English, for whom it's difficult enough to understand the standard form!
