You already know it's a parameter, so look up parameters in the help files and it will tell you how to pass them to jobs

Welcome aboard.

That's exactly what parameters do. When you submit a job run request you are prompted for the parameter values (or you use -param option in the dsjob command line).

If you need to detect the file name, you use a sequence with a command to retrieve the file name (for example ls -lrt FName* | head -1)
