Siva,

You need to make sure that you are pssing the parameter values from the sequence job to the job getting called. The error you are getting show that parameter values are not passed to the job.

Open sequence job and set parameter values to the calling job.

thanks for your reply.
i am getting the error because of passing the environmental variable in the sequence for the password and only for password i am getting the error. if i am leaving the password value in the sequence the job is running fine.for remaining all values i am using the $PROJDEF as the values in the sequence.
because of password is in encrypted form we can't give hte value to $PROJDEF.

You can give $PROJDEF for encrypted variables also.
Just key in $PROJDEF in the encrypted mode for your password variable in the job parameter grid.
