Passing environment variable through dsjob

[meet_deb85]

Hi All,

I have to run a job from command line, and pass an environment variable, called in my job every time through dsjob and -param option.

Can anyone suggest what is the correct syntax for it.

the format is to use single quotes so that the '$' in the environment variable is not expanded, i.e.

Code: Select all

-param '$APT_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/non/default/new.apt'

Out of curiousity, what exactly are you passing in? If it is already 'in the environment' the job can access it without needing to pass anything when invoking the job.
