That simply means you don't have a parameter named "ACT_L00_TRG" in that job. Check the spelling, including the case.

There is no job parameter named ACT_L00_TRG in the job called jobname.

i am using that parameter in the job

do i need to specifiy $ before the paramater name
i.e
./dsjob -run -param $ACT_L00_TRG=/home/singamar/pivot.txt DMSYNC pivot1

and do i need to specify default value for that parameter in the job

No $ sign should be used. Are those "0" or "O" in your parameter name?

No its "0" in the parameter name.
when i used $ symbol before the parameter name i am getting
This error

Error -3 getting information for parameter ''

Status code = -3 DSJE_BADPARAM

which is different from eralier error

Error -3 getting information for parameter 'ACT_L00_TRG'

Status code = -3 DSJE_BADPARAM

If you go to your director, double click on the job name and then paste the output to this thread we might see something, that will contain the parameters used by the job.

The error is different because the shell is expanding $ACT_L00_TRG as if it were a variable, and it presumably isn't set to anything hence ''.

If you want to pass environment variables you'll need to delimit the param with single quotes e.g.
-param '$APT_STRING_PADCHAR'='0x20'

No, you're not or it would be working. And no, you don't need a dollar sign, just the right parameter name.
