Stages, field names and job parameters

Hi,

Which stages allow field names to be specified using job parameters?
Or maybe rather, which can't?

thanks

Sounds like a job interview question.

& Filter Stage
It seems a question for IBM-415

Thanks a lot for the answers.

I tried to find the answer myself. E.g., I read the coredevgde.pdf, ie, Designer Guide, but only to find:

Using Job Parameters in Parallel Jobs
You can use the defined parameters by specifying them in place of
properties in a parallel job stage editor. ...

but nothing specific where and how to use them. So,

Where can I read about where exactly the Job Parameters can be used in Parallel Jobs?

thanks

Properties are usually to be found in the properties tab for the stage (not the Columns tab). There are some exceptions, such as the Format tab in the Sequential File stage, and non-standard stage editors such as Lookup and Transformer stages.
