default parameterset

Do we have any default parameter set in Datastage 8.* versions?

e.g. say we have a parameter set "ConnectionName" with parameters "Username" and "Password"

so in scripting we can assign a value to these parameters as below:

"ConnectionName.Username" = 'ABC'
"ConnectionName.Password" = 'XYZ'

This works fine.

Now if we have a job parameter as "JOB_ID" which is not having any parameterset, then

"JOB_ID" = '12'

This is not passing the value.

So do we have any default parameter set say "DEFAULT" which can be used s below,

"DEFAULT.JOB_ID" = '12'

There is no default Parameter Set in the way in which you describe.

Parameters that are not members of parameter sets exist only as job properties - they have no existence outside of the job in which they are defined.
